Request Cards in Emburse Spend

Use this guide to request an Emburse Card in Emburse Spend.

All Emburse Cardholders must request cards using their legal first and last names. We cannot issue physical or virtual cards with place names, non-users, or locations in place of a first and last name.
  1. From your Personal Emburse Spend Dashboard, select REQUEST NEW CARD

    Personal Dashboard with the Request New Card button highlighted.

    • Card Purpose: Describe what the card is used for. 
    • Budget: Enter the balance to put on the new card. 
    • Frequency: Select whether the card needs a recurring budget (for example, for a monthly subscription) and how often the balance reapplies. 
    • Category: Choose an Expense Category from the dropdown menu.
  3. If prompted, review and accept Terms and Conditions as the last step in the virtual card request flow. You only need to accept the Terms and Conditions once per card program. After acceptance, future cards assigned to you activate automatically.

Only the cardholder can accept Terms and Conditions. Admins cannot accept Terms and Conditions for a user.

Emburse Spend sends your request through the approval route configured by your administrator. Your card is active only after an approver issues it.

After approval, the card appears on your Emburse Spend Dashboard, and you can use and manage your card.
