The Lodge account

The Lodge account has been created for larger organisations with a significant amount of travel expenditure. The Lodge account not only helps to streamline your processes, but also to enforce company travel policies. In addition, detailed management information shows you areas where expenditure could be better controlled or deals negotiated.

Your Barclaycard Business account is lodged with your chosen Travel Management Company. Bookings are made as usual but expenses charged to the single lodged account. The bill is be paid monthly and travel costs are channelled through one transaction. This allows your organisation to stay in control of costs, and help ensure effective management of your corporate travel policy.

With the Lodge account there is no need for your staff to carry excessive expenditure limits on individual Barclaycard Business Corporate cards as travel bookings and air expenditure can be charged to the lodged account.

You'll receive management information, tailored to your organisation's needs and available electronically - allowing you to load the data into your financial accounting systems. You'll be able to analyse your business travel activity and costs and will see expenditure for each individual traveller, be able to identify where travellers have travelled most frequently, what they have spent and with whom they have travelled.

A Lodge account also gives you the opportunity to negotiate reduced travel rates and increase buying power as you'll have a complete picture of your organisation's expenditure with your preferred Travel Management Company.

By combining the Lodge account with other Barclaycard Business solutions, your organisation will enjoy the benefits of a total package designed to increase your efficiency.

The Lodge account is a charge card product and is settled in full each month therefore no interest is normally charged.
