3. Set card limits


Enter:

  • Account – choose the account from which the card will draw funds.

  • Total amount – the maximum sum that can be spent using this card. The limit does not automatically renew — any changes require administrator approval.

  • Start date – the day the card becomes active. ⚠️ If you set a future date, the card will not be visible to the user until the activation date.

  • End date – the day the card will be automatically unassigned from the user. After this date, the card will become inactive and can no longer be used.


Set appropriate limits by entering the amount, dates, and the account the card should be linked to.
