4. Issue a spend limit
Introduction to spend limits
Just like setting credit limits on other cards, with Brex, you can issue a user an employee card with a built in limit or issue a "Spend Limit." Spend limits can be spent via employee cards, virtual limit cards, physical cards, virtual cards, reimbursement, or bill payment.
If you choose, Brex can automatically apply the transaction to the appropriate limit if the employee enables Automatic limit selection.
To get started, we recommend provisioning a single spend limit to your core team members.
Issue a spend limit
In the same Invite a user flow, you will then be prompted to set a user limit. You can also issue a spend limit at any time by going to Cards & Limits > Create Spend Limit.
When setting up the user limit, you’ll have the option to determine whether the limit is flexible, allowing employees to exceed their assigned spend amount.
Over-limit expenses will be hard blocked and unauthorized.
Selecting "No Hard Limit" ensures purchases are never declined for surpassing the spend limit.
Additionally, you can specify recurrence and start/end dates for the limit, although these are optional.
