Summary
Use this guide to create a corporate card in Reah so your business can assign spend to the right cardholder, apply clear limits, and keep card activity visible inside one finance system.
How corporate cards work in Reah
Reah allows businesses to issue corporate cards as part of their broader finance operations. Instead of managing card spend separately from the rest of your financial workflows, Reah keeps card issuance connected to your workspace permissions, approval structure, and operating controls.
Depending on your setup, card issuance may be tied to entity configuration, KYB status, internal permissions, approval rules, and the card program available to your business.
Before you create a corporate card
Before issuing a card, confirm:
- Your business has completed KYB and any required card onboarding steps in Reah
- The intended cardholder should have permission to make purchases for the business
- The card has a clear operating purpose, such as travel, software, vendor payments, or team spend
- The correct spending limit and policy settings are ready to apply
- Someone on the finance or operations side owns review of the card after issuance

- Review the card details and any available usage settings.
- Apply the appropriate spending limit or policy rules.
- Submit the request for creation, approval, or activation.
- Track the card's status in your workspace until it is ready for use.
What to check after the card is issued
