First Federal Community Bank Business Zero+ Card
Pros
- $0 annual fee and $0 extra-card fee
- 0% intro APR for 18 billing cycles on purchases and on timely BTs — among the longest business-card intros advertised in 2026
- BT window extends 558 days after opening on the aggregator box (same Elan SKU across partners)
- 5% cash back + $50/card credit on Rewards Center prepaid travel if you actually use the portal
- Optional 3-month $0 ExtendPay once per year after intro ends; cell-phone protection up to $600 when the bill is paid with the card
Cons
- No cash back on ordinary business spend — portal prepaid travel only
- Go-to purchase APR 16.24%–25.24% variable is expensive float after the intro

- Personal guarantee; Elan may pursue the owner for all account charges
- First Federal does not publish the live Schumer box on its site; rewards travel headline is easy to misread as airline/hotel MCC bonuses
Verdict
Business Advantage Unlimited Cash Rewards
Unlimited is the simple SKU in the Business Advantage cash pair — 1.5% with no cap, or up to 2.62% if Preferred Rewards for Business Platinum Honors is real for you. It is not Customized (3%/2%/1% with a $50k cap). Without PRFB it is a fine no-fee 1.5% card that loses to Ink Unlimited's bonus and Spark Select's longer 0% window. With PRFB it becomes one of the better uncapped cash rates in the set. Skip it for foreign spend or no-PG underwriting.
First Federal Community Bank Business Zero+ Card
This is Elan’s Visa Business Zero+ cobranded for First Federal Community Bank (Dover, OH / firstfed.com) — not a card the bank underwrites, not the consumer Zero+ twin, and not Bucyrus ffcb.com. It is a 0% float tool with thin portal-only rewards, not a daily driver. Pair it with a 2–5% earn card. Confirm the live rates-and-fees box at application.
