A Corporate Card gives your team flexible access to company funds, with smart spending controls.
Unlike a Pre-funded Card, which has a one-time approved amount, a Corporate Card works on spending cycles. You can set a limit based on the cycle you need, keeping your budgets on track without extra admin work.
You’ll also have the option to control how much can be spent in a single transaction. This is useful for managing ongoing expenses responsibly.
How it works
When you issue a Corporate Card, you decide how much the cardholder can spend within a given cycle.
Here’s what to know:
Each card has a spend limit tied to the cycle you choose: when you issue or edit a corporate card, you can select Daily, Weekly, Monthly (the default) or Yearly.
You can also set a maximum spend per transaction to prevent large or unplanned purchases.
All spending is debited directly from your company wallet, ensuring real-time visibility and control.
This gives you flexible budgets for ongoing expenses like travel, office supplies, or subscriptions.
How it’s different from a Pre-funded Card
A Corporate Card uses a limit that resets on the cycle you choose, while a Pre-funded Card has no cycle at all. Its limit is simply the amount you fund it with. You can still add or remove spend approvals on a Pre-funded Card at any time.
Feature | Corporate Card | Pre-funded Card |
Limit type | Limit tied to a chosen cycle | Fixed approved spend amount |
Duration | Resets daily, weekly, monthly or yearly | No reset, funds remain until used |
Funding source | Linked to wallet with recurring limits | Draws directly from wallet balance |
Adjustments | Limits refresh automatically based on the cycle | Spend approvals can be added or removed anytime |
Ideal for | Ongoing and recurring expenses | One-off purchases or specific projects |
Example in action
Your marketing team has regular ad spend across multiple platforms.
Instead of manually approving funds each time, you can issue a Corporate Card with a monthly limit. The limit resets automatically every month. This keeps spend predictable and frees up time for your finance team.
You can also set per-transaction limits to prevent overspending on any single campaign.
