General
RBI CardService offers the Raiffeisen corporate credit card with or without a travel package and/or management package.
No, the corporate customer must be a Raiffeisen customer and therefore have a Raiffeisen account. However, the cardholders (employees of the company) do not have to be Raiffeisen customers.
No. An Austrian credit card must always be personalized with the name of the cardholder, i.e. the card must not only be issued in the name of the company. Furthermore, the credit card may only be used by the cardholder himself.
For an initial consultation, please contact your Raiffeisen bank advisor directly. If necessary, questions will be forwarded to the responsible operational offices in RBI CardService.
This is Raiffeisen Online Banking, business banking for companies of all sizes.
This is the RBI customer portal for your Raiffeisen corporate credit card.
My ELBA is Raiffeisen online banking for private customers.
RaiPay is a payment app from Raiffeisen that can be used to make contactless payments and send money. Furthermore, card details such as card number, expiration date, CVV code and PIN can be viewed in RaiPay.
These are digital payment solutions for mobile devices. Depending on the product, these solutions can be installed and subsequently used with your digital Raiffeisen company credit card.
Framework agreement & card application
Contact yourself or an authorised representative of the company directly with your Raiffeisen bank advisor. The corresponding requirements can thus be clarified immediately. If the clarification is positive, the necessary framework agreement can be drawn up. If this could also be done positively, the desired card applications must be submitted.
The terms and conditions can be found on our homepage. If you are interested, please contact your Raiffeisen bank advisor.
Yes, the card application can be entered immediately after the application for the framework contract. However, a review of the ticket applications, including possible approval, will only take place after the framework agreement has been successfully concluded.
No, currently only one framework agreement can be concluded per company.
There is no limit to the number of cards per company. Up to 3 cards per employee can be requested. The total limit of the individual credit cards must be within the overall framework of the company.
The cancellation of the framework agreement and company credit card can be made at any time. Please let your bank advisor know, he will take all the necessary steps.
In the course of the framework contract application, your bank advisor will define the desired total limit together with you. Whether this can be finally confirmed depends on various test criteria. The total limit can be divided among the individual company credit cards after approval. It is advisable to plan a "limit buffer" for any urgent card limit increases.
The administrator of the company acts as the authorized representative of the company. It will be announced in the course of the framework agreement and may be amended.
Product setup
The Raiffeisen corporate credit card consists of a standard package and offers the option of booking the travel package for selected cards in addition. The management package can also be added to all cards.
The settlement account must be a company account of a Raiffeisen bank. All card transactions are debited from this company account.
The payment period granted after the end of the accounting period/invoicing is 3 or 21 days and can be freely chosen by the company.
The billing period for all Raiffeisen corporate credit cards runs uniformly from the 1st to the last of each month. Billing is done on the 1st of each month for the previous month. It is not possible to change the billing cycle.
The monthly credit card statement clearly lists all credit cards of a company as well as their sales in the respective billing period (Card ID, transaction date, posting date, contract company/purpose of payment, original amount/fees, rate, settlement amount). On the cover page, the contract number, credit line and balance (total for all cards) are listed. The monthly invoice can be accessed by the admin in "My Portal Business" or in "Infinity". The monthly invoice is a collective invoice, individual invoices at card level are not provided.
No, splitting is not possible.
The debit is made 1x annually in the respective opening month of the company credit card. A collective debit of all company credit cards is not possible, as the opening time of the individual cards may differ.
Yes, cash withdrawals are possible at home and abroad for a fee (see price and service overview attached).
Cardholders can call up their own card transactions in "RaiPay", "My Portal Business", "Apple Pay" and "Infinity". Administrators can access all sales via "Infinity" and "My PortalBusiness". Furthermore, transactions can be viewed in My ELBA, provided that this person is also an account holder
Annual card fees
- EUR 39,00 - Annual fee Map
- EUR 19.50 - annual fee Ticket from 2 tickets (graduated price)
- EUR 80.00 - annual fee travel package (optional per card)
- EUR 240.00 - Management package (optional per contract)
The discounted annual fee applies to 2 tickets or more if ordered at the same time. If the second card is ordered 3 months later, for example, the discounted annual fee for the first card only applies from the 2nd year. The travel package can be booked optionally for individual tickets.
The management package can optionally be booked once for the entire company or a framework agreement.
Yes, these also apply to different additional packages. The graduated prices reduce the standard annual fee. The costs of the additional packages do not change.
Ticket information & ordering
The prerequisite is an approved framework agreement for the company. Individual credit cards can be requested for this. This requires a card application prepared by the corporate customer, the cardholder and the bank as well as an official photo ID of the cardholder (employee of the company).
There is no standard limit. The card limit is based on the total limit of the company or the number of credit cards associated with it.
Please contact the admin of the company directly or Your Raiffeisen bank advisor.
The desired design is deposited with the framework agreement. An individual design per card is therefore not possible. The Wish Design will probably be available in the 2nd half of 2024.
The delivery of the credit card takes about 6 working days and is sent directly to the cardholder or, if expressly requested, to the bank.
No, the company credit card and the PIN letter will not be sent at the same time for security reasons. In the case of a system PIN, the envelope arrives about 2 working days before the company credit card. If you have a PIN request, you will not be sent a PIN envelope, but an information letter together with the credit card for the creation of the desired PIN via the Raffeisen CardService homepage.
An activation of the company credit card is necessary. This is done either for the 1st payment by "plugging" the card and entering the PIN or for a cash withdrawal. It is also possible to activate the digital card via RaiPay before the company credit card and PIN code have arrived at the cardholder. The digital card is thus available for e-commerce transactions before the physical card arrives. See also "Instant Issuing".

Management package
The Visa Spend Clarity for Business tool can be used with the management package. Visa Spend Clarity for Business offers expense management and card management capabilities. Comprehensive map reports can also be generated. When used in conjunction with the Visa Spend Clarity app, expense receipts can be easily scanned and linked to transactions. In addition, transactions can be exported and imported into accounting systems (currently supported: Sage Business Cloud, Quickbooks Online and Xero).
The admin of a company can view and manage all integrated company credit cards of the company. A corporate credit card holder only sees their own company credit card and transactions made.
The management package can be added to RBI CardService directly when the framework agreement is drawn up or via a change order by the bank advisor. The management package can be booked at the framework contract level (not individually per card).
The term is 1 year with automatic renewal after 12 months.
Cancellation must be given to RBI CardService 30 days before the end of the term by means of a change form by the bank advisor.
RaiPay
The download and use of the RaiPay app is free of charge.
Paying with RaiPay is absolutely secure, as the same high security standards are used that Raiffeisen customers are used to when making card payments.
The agreed credit card limits also apply to payments and cash withdrawals with your smartphone.
The RaiPay PIN is used to verify your identity, e.g. for payments over EUR 50,-, when the maximum limit for consecutive low-value payments (EUR 125) is reached, to unlock the start screen to see card details, available limit or transactions. The RaiPay PIN is a four-digit number and can be replaced by a biometric identifier (e.g. fingerprint) to make RaiPay easier to use.
We recommend that you contact the card blocking hotline at +43 1 908 908 0 8080. At your request, we will block your smartphone's digital credit card to prevent misuse.
Garmin Pay
It can be used worldwide on all NFC terminals with Maestro function.
You can find an up-to-date overview of all Garmin Pay-enabled™ smartwatches in the Garmin Online Shop.
To protect you, Garmin Pay™ uses smartwatch-specific card numbers and transaction codes – called tokens – every time you make a purchase. Your card data is therefore not stored on the device or on the Garmin servers and is not transmitted to the merchants when you pay. To make a transaction, you enter your custom code on your watch, which will be remembered for 24 hours. Once you remove your wearable, you will need to re-enter the code.
To make a Garmin Pay™ payment, you must use the 4-digit PIN you chose during registration. The PIN must be re-entered every 24 hours, or as soon as the watch is removed from the wrist. The check is done by the heart rate monitor.
If the PIN is entered incorrectly three times, your smartwatch's wallet will be locked. You will then need to reset them in your Garmin Connect app or complete the registration process again.
Limits apply depending on the set daily and weekly limit of your digital credit card.
Since the PIN of your choice is only required every 24 hours, or when the watch has been removed, there is no need to enter a separate PIN at the payment terminal. This means that the contactless limit of EUR 25 (or EUR 50 due to Covid-19) will also be eliminated when paying with Garmin Pay™.

Apple Pay
Please check if the following requirements are met to activate Apple Pay:
- Are you using the latest version of the iOS operating system?
- Have you installed the latest version of the My ELBA app?
- Do you have a good internet connection?
- Is the pushTAN confirmation of your identity still valid?
- Have you stored your current mobile phone number in your internet banking?
- Is your Raiffeisen credit card usable and not blocked?
If all points are met, but you still have problems adding your Raiffeisen credit card to Apple Pay, please contact your personal Raiffeisen advisor or Apple Pay Support.
You can start the process of adding your Raiffeisen credit card to Apple Pay in your My ELBA app. To do this, go to the respective account in the My ELBA app, select "Functions > cards" and click on "Add to Apple Wallet" for the respective card. Follow Apple Pay's instructions.
There are no costs to set up or use Apple Pay. However, an internet connection is required for setup.
With Apple Pay and your credit card from Raiffeisen CardService, you can pay quickly, securely and confidentially. Paying with Apple Pay is easy and works with the devices you use every day — iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac. The card information is secure because it is not stored on your device or shared with the merchant at checkout.
To use Apple Pay, you'll need the following:
- An Apple ID signed in to iCloud
- An Apple Pay-enabled Apple device. For an up-to-date overview of all Apple devices that support Apple Pay, see: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT208531
- The latest version of iOS, watchOS, or macOS
- A credit card from Raiffeisen CardService.
You can store several credit cards from Raiffeisen CardService. When you add two or more cards to Apple Pay, you can define a default card to pay for. You can set this in Apple Wallet or in the device's system preferences under "Wallet & Apple Pay".
You can store your credit card on several Apple devices at the same time. There is no limit to the number of Apple devices.
If you enable two or more cards for Apple Pay, you can define a default card for payment. You can set this directly in the Apple Wallet by pressing and holding the desired card and placing it in the first place.
No active internet connection is required to pay with Apple Pay. Transactions can be made without an internet connection with Apple Pay.
In some countries and regions, you may be required to enter your PIN when paying with Apple Pay in stores if your transaction exceeds a certain amount. In some cases, you may need to sign a receipt or use a different payment method. In Austria, you may be required to enter your PIN for purchases over EUR 50.00.
- In the Apple Wallet, when you tap on the respective card, you will find all transactions made with the card.
- You can still find the sales overview in your My ELBA.
With Apple Pay, you can conveniently pay for your purchases contactless at the checkout with your iPhone. This can be done in almost all stores, at online retailers or in the Safari browser. You can see exactly where by the symbol for contactless payment or the Apple Pay logo.
You can turn off notifications from Apple Pay about purchases in the Wallet app as follows:
- On your iPhone, open the Wallet app and select the card you want to use
- Tap More > Notifications
- Turn off the "Allow notifications" option
If you have questions about a charge, contact the dealer. The cashier can determine the purchase using the device account number and process the return just as they would when paying with a physical credit card. You can find the device account number in Apple Wallet.
If you are unable to bring about clarification, you can complain about the turnover. Please contact your bank advisor for more information.
There is no limit to the number of payments made with Apple Pay. The same daily or card limits apply as those of your physical credit card from Raiffeisen CardService.
To block your physical credit card or order a replacement card, please contact your Raiffeisen advisor or the blocking hotline.
If you've received your new credit card and you want to use it with Apple Pay, you'll need to add the new credit card to Apple Pay again.
To exclude payments with Apple Pay, delete any cards added to Apple Pay on your iPhone. We strongly recommend that you reset the device to its original state before selling it to a new user. This will delete your personal information. For detailed instructions on how to restore the factory settings, refer to the manual for your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch.
Instead of your credit card number, Apple Pay uses a virtual number to make the payment, so your card information isn't transmitted to merchants and your actual credit card number isn't stored on your device or Apple servers.
If you lose your device or it's stolen, you can lock it at any time using the Find My app from another iPhone or iPad, or from your Apple ID account page. Your physical card will remain unaffected. You can pay with this as usual.
Make sure your device is safe and secure with an unlock mechanism. In addition, you must not have registered other people's fingerprints or share your unlock mechanism with other people. These people could otherwise use your device to transact.
No, you need an active iCloud account to pay with Apple Pay.
If you no longer want to use Apple Pay, you can delete the card on file in Apple Wallet.
If you lose your device or it's stolen, you can lock it at any time using the Find My app from another iPhone or iPad, or from your Apple ID account page. Your physical card will remain unaffected. You can pay with it as usual.
The card data is never stored on the device, but a non-sensitive equivalent (token) with which the payment is made. This means that your card data cannot be transferred to merchants 2 either.
Apple Pay can be activated via Apple Wallet by manually entering card data and authenticating via an SMS one-time password. In addition, activation can be started from the My ELBA app.
The new or newly issued card can be digitized once the plastic card has been received and activated (through an online PIN transaction at the POS terminal or ATMs). It can take up to a week for the card to be delivered.
Unfortunately, this is not possible.
In the Apple Wallet of the respective device, only the digital transactions that have been made with the device are displayed. For example, transactions with the Apple Watch are only displayed in the Watch app.
Instead of using the plastic card and inserting it into the self-service device, use the iPhone (on which the card is digitized in Apple Pay) in the same way as at the POS terminal (by tapping the contactless icon on the ATM). The subsequent process is the same as for the plastic card, where the PIN of the plastic card must be entered at the ATM.
