AGD Launches Exclusive Business Credit Card for Practice Owners as a Member Benefit

  • by AGD Staff
  • Jun 26, 2025

The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) recently unveiled a new business credit card specifically designed for dental practice owners. The AGD Business Credit Card, launched in May as part of its expanding member benefits program, provides dentists with an innovative way to earn rewards, manage expenses, and establish business credit—all with no annual fee.

AGD members who own practices can now earn up to 5% cash back rewards on purchases with DHP (Dental Health Products), up to 3% on AGD purchases, and up to 2% on all other eligible spending. The card, which is being offered through Mercantile, a division of Onboard Partners, includes free unlimited employee cards, enabling practices to maximize rewards while tracking business expenses seamlessly.

“Our members are not only healthcare providers but also business owners. This new business credit card is built to support their financial goals while enhancing their everyday operations,” said Chethan Chetty, DDS, MAGD, AGD president. “It’s another way AGD is helping general dentists succeed beyond the operatory.”

Dental professionals can enhance their financial well-being while earning meaningful rewards on the purchases that fuel their practices.

“We are proud to partner with prestigious medical associations, such as AGD, to deliver a best-in-class business card program. This allows AGD members to focus more on their patients and growing their practice while spending less time managing their business expenses,” said Carl Erickson, a senior partner at Onboard Partners.

The AGD World Elite Business Credit Card offers additional enhanced benefits, including:

  • Mastercard Easy Savings® for automatic discounts on gas, hotels, dining, car rentals, and business services
  • Virtual Account Numbers for added online security
  • Credit-building in the company’s name, which is a crucial feature for establishing and growing a practice's financial credibility
