Users with the Manage Cards user permission can activate Expense Cards for cardholders at any time within the ExpenseIn Cards module.

You can activate Expense Cards for cardholders once they've been received, or you may need to reactivate a previously deactivated card.

Note: A cardholder can also activate their card from their My Cards area, unless the card was deactivated by a Manage Cards user or has an active date range (Virtual Cards only).

To activate an Expense Card for a cardholder, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Cards module and click Manage.

2. In the Expense Cards section, click the Cards subheading.

3. Find the cardholder's card you'd like to activate. You can use the available Filter options to help with this if required.

4. Click the three dots icon next to the card and select Activate from the drop-down.

5. Click Continue in the confirmation window to confirm you'd like to activate the

card.

​

6. A banner will appear at the top of the screen confirming that the card has been activated, and a green Active label will display against the card.

Note: A confirmation email will also be sent to the cardholder's registered ExpenseIn email address.

The cardholder can then retrieve their PIN (Physical Card), or view their card details (Virtual Card) before using the card.
