Finding your cards
The cards page lists every card issued in your entity. The table groups cards by cardholder and shows each card’s nickname, type (virtual, physical, or single-use), and status:
To narrow the list, search by cardholder, card name, or the card’s last 4 digits. You can also filter by Status and Type.
The cards page includes cards that can no longer be used, such as canceled and expired cards. The card widgets on your dashboard and on each bank account’s page show only usable cards. A card is usable when it’s active, frozen, or awaiting activation.
Select a card in the list to open its page. Every settings change below starts from there. A used, expired, or canceled card can’t be changed.
Changing spending limits
Click the... button at the top-right of the card’s page and select Update limits. You can change either limit, switch one off, or add one you skipped. Lemma checks new transactions against the new limits as soon as you save.
If you switch both limits off, the card approves any purchase up to the cash available in its funding account.
On a single-use card, Update limits changes its Maximum amount instead. The card stays single-use. After the card is used, you can’t change its maximum amount.
Renaming a card
Click the... button at the top-right of the card’s page, select Rename card, and enter a new nickname. The new name replaces the old one everywhere, including on past transactions.
Freezing a card
Freeze a card to block new transactions instantly. Freezing keeps the card’s spending limits and transaction history. When you unfreeze it, the card works exactly as it did before.1

Who can manage cards
Only members with the Owner, CFO, or Accounting banking role can issue or change cards. Read-only members can hold a card and see its activity, but can’t change any card, including their own.
This means a read-only cardholder can’t raise their own limit, unfreeze their own card, or activate a physical card that arrived in their own mail. If they lose their card, an Owner, CFO, or Accounting teammate needs to freeze it for them.
