Pros & Cons

Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card

Pros

• $0 annual fee on primary and employee cards

• 12-month 0% intro APR on purchases
• Elevated $1,000 / $8,000 / 4-month welcome bonus (as of 9/3/2026); AU spend counts
• Primary business-use rental CDW up to $60,000 on a no-fee card

Cons

• Personal guarantee + hard personal pull + unofficial 5/24 rule
• Welcome bonus blocked if you ever held this or another $0-AF Chase business card

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
• 3% BT fee and 3% foreign-transaction fee
• 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

Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card

One of the strongest no-annual-fee business cards for flat-rate earn. The Ink Business Unlimited combines uncapped 1.5% cash back, a generous intro APR window, free employee cards, and a elevated welcome bonus — all without an annual fee. Best for domestic spenders who don't need category bonuses or premium travel perks. Poor fit for foreign spend, no-PG seekers, or businesses that would earn more with Ink Cash or Ink Preferred in their bonus categories.

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.
