Issue a card

A card for one person or one purpose, with the limit set before it exists.

Issue a card in SigmaPointPi
/cards/issue

Issuing takes a holder, a limit and a set of controls. Virtual cards are instant and can be locked to a single merchant, which makes them the right choice for a subscription.

A card issued without a limit is a company account with somebody else's name on it. The limit is the point.

How to work this page

Choose virtual or physical

Virtual for online spending and subscriptions, issued immediately. Physical for anyone who buys in person.

Set both limits

Monthly and per transaction. Per transaction is the one that stops a single large mistake.

Restrict the categories

A card that only works for fuel and travel declines everything else at authorisation rather than reporting it afterwards.

Name the purpose

A card labelled for what it is makes the statement readable and makes an unexpected charge obvious.

On a phone

Issue a card on iPhone 15 Pro Max

Every figure from the desktop appears here, stacked rather than reduced. Tables scroll inside themselves so the page never moves sideways, and figures keep their separators and their alignment at every width.

Questions people actually ask

Can one person hold several cards?

Yes, and for anyone buying across categories it is better. One card per purpose keeps the coding clean.

What happens to a subscription if I freeze the card?

It declines at the next renewal. For a subscription you intend to keep, raise the limit rather than freezing.
