Manage Employee Spending

Capital One Mobile Application
  • Manage Spend Limits

    Manage employee spend and cash limits. You can reset an employee’s spend limit at any point during the billing cycle.

  • Track Spending

    Monitor employee spend using the personalized spend tracker. See how much they’ve spent in a cycle, what’s left over and any pending transactions.

  • Add Users

    When adding an employee, all you need is their full name, date of birth and phone number. You’ll have the choice to issue them a card or not.

  • Remove Users

    Delete an employee from your account and they’ll no longer have access to your account or be able to spend.

    Change a user’s access level from an authorized user to account manager or vice versa. Editing user access is never permanent—you can always go back.
