I was told that none of Citi's business cc's are eligible.

Can anyone confirm/deny?

Looks like a startup. They only allow to load from bank accounts.

Seems more established than that. They only allow from bank account as that's how they make their money, they act as a CC processor.
I see a couple pros using them over a standard VCC.

They say that they limit the amount of cards that can he created for use by a single merchant, do you know that number?
