As a Super Admin, Admin or Accountant (Internal), or a Team Lead for your team's cards, you can add a temporary spending limit boost to a card on the web or in the mobile app when extra funds are needed. Team Members request one instead: see How to request a Temporary Card Limit Increase. This one-time increase stays active until the end of the current cycle. It then automatically resets to the original limit.
Use it for urgent or exceptional expenses when you don't want to change the card's permanent limit.
How to add a temporary limit increase on desktop
Select Cards in the left sidebar, then select ⋮ on the card's row and select Edit.
Open the Limits tab and select the Spending limit row.
Select Increase spending limit temporarily, then enter the amount in Temporary spending limit increase. It is a one-time add-on that expires when the card's cycle ends.
Select Save. If you close the panel without saving, the increase is discarded.
How to add a temporary limit increase on mobile
Select your card. Tap the card you’d like to adjust.
Go to advanced controls. Tap Settings → Advanced controls.
Open the limits tab. Tap Spending Limit.
Increase the spending limit temporarily. Tap Increase Spending Limit Temporarily and enter the amount you want to increase it by.
Save the change. Tap Save. The cardholder will be notified of the temporary limit increase.
Good to know
The increase automatically expires when the next cycle starts.
When a Team Member requests an increase, it appears under Requests in the left sidebar, on the Cards tab. In the mobile app, it appears in the Requests tab. See Approving requests for new card, limit change or temporarily limit increases.
