Corporate cards

Unlimited Visa cards for your team with per-employee limits, MCC restrictions, and instant freeze.

Business accounts can issue unlimited corporate Visa cards. Each card has its own spending limit, merchant-category restrictions, region restrictions, and freeze controls. No per-card fees from Glide.

Issue a card

1. Open team cards

   From the dashboard, Cards → Issue a card → for a teammate. Pick the teammate (must be invited to the entity); they’ll get a notification.

2. Configure the card

   Set:

   • Spending limit — per-transaction, daily, monthly, lifetime.
   • MCC restrictions — allowlist, denylist, or open. Travel-only? Software-only? Pick what fits.
   • Region restrictions — specific countries, or open.
   • Funding currency — default is USD, but you can pin to any currency the entity holds.
3. Pick virtual or physical

   Virtual is instant; the teammate can add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay immediately. Physical takes 5–10 business days.

4. Send to teammate

   The teammate sees the card in their dashboard. They can use the virtual immediately; the physical ships to the address they confirm.

What you can monitor in real time

For every team card, you see:

• Live transaction stream as authorizations arrive from Visa.
• Per-card spend running total against the limits you set.
• MCC distribution (where is the spend actually going?).
• Region distribution (which country is each charge in?).
• Out-of-policy attempts (a teammate trying to spend on a blocked MCC; the charge is denied at the network layer, but you see the attempt).

Common patterns

Vendor card

A card with a single allowlisted MCC (or a single allowlisted merchant) and a tight monthly limit. Issued for a specific tool subscription or vendor relationship. Can’t be used for anything else, even if the card details leak.

Travel card

A card with a generous transaction limit, MCC allowlist for travel categories (airlines, hotels, restaurants, ground transport), and a region allowlist for the country the teammate is traveling to. Auto-expires (set lifetime limit equal to expected trip spend).

Default operating card

A card with the entity’s standard team-spend limit ($X/day,$Y/month), no MCC restrictions, no region restrictions. The teammate’s general-purpose card.

Founder card

Higher limits than team cards, possibly with multi-approval flow on charges over a threshold. For founders who occasionally need to handle larger one-off costs (legal fees, off-cycle vendor payments).

Foreign-transaction handling

Glide doesn’t add a foreign-transaction fee. When a teammate’s card is charged in EUR while the card is funded in USD, the conversion happens at the live mid-market rate. The amount that comes out of the entity’s USD balance is exactly the USD-equivalent of the EUR charge, no spread.

Freeze and replace

Anyone with Admin or Finance role can freeze any card on the entity instantly. From Cards → pick the card → Freeze. Freeze is reversible; Replace issues a new PAN and permanently voids the old one.

Auto-freeze on teammate removal is the default behavior — when you remove a teammate, their cards are frozen automatically. Override at Settings → Team policy if you want different behavior (e.g., keep the card live for 30 days post-departure to handle final reimbursements).

Reconciliation

Card transactions sync into your accounting tool via the QuickBooks Online or Xero integration (read-only export of card transactions, categorized by MCC and per-card metadata). Auto-categorization handles the common cases; the rest goes to a “needs review” bucket.

For accounts that don’t use QBO or Xero, monthly CSV/PDF exports are available from Cards → Statements.

Disputes

Same flow as a personal card. Anyone with Admin or Finance role can file a dispute on any team card. The card’s holder gets notified that a dispute was filed.

See Disputes.
