How can I ask for a new card? Where can I send card requests? Can I cancel a request for a card I already sent?

Updated over a week ago

If needed, you can submit a card request and ask for a new corporate card to be issued in your name as a cardholder.

Depending on your use case, you can request a standard physical, standard virtual, or a single-use virtual card. If your company is based in the US and your company has connected the two systems, you can also ask for a virtual American Express Card that will be issued and managed through Payhawk.

Your card request will be submitted to the respective approvers at your company based on the workflows defined by your Payhawk administrator.

Notes on requesting new cards

  • For your card request to be completed, it has to be approved by a defined approver and, then, issued by a Payhawk administrator at your company.

  • You will be able to request new virtual American Express Cards only if your company is based in the US and a connection between the American Express and Payhawk systems has been established.
