Card controls are used to set a range of restrictions on a cardholder's usage, by either blocking certain transactions or placing rules, such as an amount limit, on the account. It also allows administrators to prevent employees from spending in a country or multiple countries or allows employees to have no restrictions at all. To enable and manage card controls, you must have the Admin – Maintain Account Controls access right.
Card controls can be enabled during the new card account application process, or managed via the View and Maintain Account Details window.
