How card purchases work in Reah

A Reah card allows an authorized team member to make business purchases inside the rules set by your workspace. Reah keeps purchases tied to the same system your team uses to manage financial activity, limits, and oversight. Depending on your workspace setup, a card purchase may be approved immediately, declined automatically, or paused for review.

Before making a purchase

• The card is active and ready to use
• The cardholder is authorized to make the purchase
• The purchase fits the intended business use of the card
• Available funds and card limits are sufficient
• Merchant or policy restrictions will not block the transaction

Common reasons a card purchase may not go through

• The card is frozen, inactive, or canceled
• The transaction exceeds the spending limit
• The merchant category is restricted
• Available funds are insufficient
• The transaction is blocked by workspace policy or review rules

Best practices

• Use each card for a defined business purpose
• Check limits before important purchases
• Review pending versus completed status before assuming a final outcome
• Investigate repeated declines instead of retrying blindly
