Advanced Control allows you to go beyond standard spend limits and tailor card usage to your company’s specific needs.
You can now:
Set spend rules by location – control where cards can be used (for example, allow spend only in the UAE).
Restrict by merchant categories – block transactions from specific types of businesses (for example, entertainment or gaming).
These controls help you maintain tighter compliance, prevent misuse, and manage budgets more effectively — all while keeping your teams empowered to spend responsibly.
