External Transfers: Turn your Cape Credit into cash for any business expense

Paying business bills shouldn't be limited by whether a supplier accepts cards. We're excited to introduce External Transfers, a powerful new feature enabling you to seamlessly convert your Cape credit line into cash by transferring funds directly to your ANNA Money business account.

Transform how you pay business expenses

Australian businesses face a universal challenge: not every vendor accepts credit cards. From ATO payments to commercial rent, many essential business expenses require bank transfers. That's why we're thrilled to introduce External Transfers—a game-changing feature that lets you move Cape credit directly to your ANNA Money account, effectively turning your credit line into cash for any business payment.

Why External Transfers matters:

  • Full Payment Flexibility: Settle any expense, whether it’s ATO payments, rent, supplier invoices, or professional services—without being restricted to card acceptance.
  • Optimise Working Capital: Preserve your cash reserves and use Cape credit strategically for all business costs.
  • Free ANNA Money Business Account: Every Cape Credit Card customer enjoys a 6 month free ANNA Money account, featuring instant BSB and account number, virtual cards, invoice management, built-in tax support and much more.
  • Simplified Operations: Manage all business payments through one integrated system instead of juggling multiple payment methods.

How External Transfers work

If you haven't already, sign up for your free ANNA Money business account at https://annamoney.au/services/business-account. Cape customers receive:

  • Instant BSB and account number

Step 4: Funds available

Within 2 business days, your transferred funds appear in your ANNA Money account, ready for direct bank payments.

What can you pay?

External Transfers allow you to easily pay a wide range of expenses typically unavailable to credit card holders:

  • Government & Compliance: ATO, ASIC fees, council rates, and licenses
  • Property & Operations: Rent, utilities, insurance, and leases

Proven security and compliance

External Transfers uphold the highest standards:
