Industries.
How the same controls get applied when the spend is per job, per property, per driver, per placement, or per booking.
Set up for how your industry actually spends.
A card per property, per job, per driver, per placement. Same controls underneath — what changes is what one card is allowed to be.
Accountants
The hardest part of a client's books is the spend with no receipt and no context. When clients run on virtual cards, the receipt, category, and reviewer are already attached before
Agencies
When your agency runs ten clients' ad budgets on one card, every month-end is a guessing game. A card per client budget caps each one, keeps client spend separate, and makes rebill
Construction
Give every job, foreman, and supplier its own capped virtual Visa card. Material and tool spend maps to the right project, a charge over budget is declined, and a card closes the m
E-commerce

Insurance agencies

Investment and advisory firms
Stop running Bloomberg seats, research tools, advisor travel, and the odd client seminar on one shared corporate card where you lose the trail of who spent what. Issue a wallet-fun
IT companies
IT spend is scattered across dozens of cloud subscriptions, developer tools, and vendor invoices, each billed to whatever card is handy. Issue a dedicated wallet-funded virtual Vis
Law firms
A virtual card for a law firm is a prepaid Visa card scoped to one matter or attorney, with a set budget and vendor locks. Give each matter its own card. Set the budget. Lock it to

Petty cash and shared cards are how fuel receipts go missing and mileage claims get inflated. Issue each driver a wallet-funded virtual Visa, cap it to the daily or weekly fuel bud

Issue a dedicated virtual card per campaign or ad channel. Set a hard spending cap, lock the card to specific ad platforms where supported, and close any card the moment a campaign

Online sellers
Running Meta ads, a supplier order, your Shopify apps, and your VA's buys off one card means a single decline or one flagged number can freeze everything at once. Issue a separate
Property management
Maintenance, supplies, and vendors for a dozen units add up fast, and owners want the spend split by property. A card per unit caps each one and keeps records ready for every owner
Real estate
A contractor who has your business card number can keep charging after the job ends. A contractor who has a virtual card capped to the renovation budget cannot. Virtual cards for r

Staffing agencies
Staffing agencies carry the cost of reimbursing placed workers for job-related expenses, including uniforms, tools, and travel to the client site, while the billing cycle lags by w
Startups
A newly incorporated startup has no credit history, no way to get a business credit card on merit, and a team that needs to buy tools, pay vendors, and expense travel from day one.
Travel agencies
Stop fronting cash on one shared agency card and untangling the statement at month-end. Issue a wallet-funded virtual Visa for each booking, capped to the supplier's net rate and l
Trucking and owner-operators
Whether you run one truck or a fleet, you can give every driver a virtual Visa card with a hard dollar cap, locked to fuel and lodging where supported, so a card can only spend wha

The other ways in.
- Card types6
The same Visa rails, set up for a different job. Pick by what the card has to do: pay a supplier, carry a budget, run payroll, or hand someone a gift.
- Use cases6
The jobs teams issue cards for most, each one written as a setup you can copy: who holds the card, what the limit is, and how the spend lands in the books.
Whichever one fits, it starts as one card with a limit.
Every page under industries ends at the same three steps: fund the wallet, set the cap, send the details.
