Share Cards United States Users

Shared cards allow United States users to share a virtual card using a secure link. Use this feature when someone other than the assigned cardholder needs to make purchases with the card.

Only users with the Admin role can share a virtual card link by default. A user with the Reviewer role can share a card link only after an administrator enables the Can approve spending permission on the reviewer's role.

For more information, see User roles.

Card sharing is available for virtual cards only. The option does not display for physical cards.
