Altitude Card overview

Issue virtual cards, set spending limits and track team spend

Written by Noah

The Altitude Card is a virtual Visa Signature Corporate card your team spends with from a dedicated card account in your workspace. Issue cards to anyone, set a limit on each one and see every transaction in one place.

It's a charge card, not a credit card. Cards spend straight from your prefunded card account – no credit line, no interest and no credit check. They're accepted anywhere Visa is.


What you get

  • Visa Signature Corporate benefits – concierge, hotel perks, lounge access and purchase protection. See Signature benefits.

  • Spending controls – a limit on every card, and freeze or cancel anytime. See spending limits.

  • Auto top-up – refill the card account when it runs low. See auto top-up.

  • Receipt matching – emailed receipts match to the right transaction. See card receipts.

  • Cards for anyone – teammates or anyone you invite by email. See cards for people outside your workspace.

  • Cashback – monthly USDC cashback on qualifying spend. See card cashback.

  • Tap to pay – add cards to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. See mobile wallets.


Set up cards

The first time you open Cards, a short checklist walks you through setup. You can leave and come back anytime.

  1. Request cards access. We verify your business with our card partner and may email you for more information.

  2. Accept the card terms.

  3. Add at least one card admin.

  4. Top up your card account from another USD account. Cards decline until it's funded.

Check where cards can be used. Card eligibility is assessed per cardholder and has its own country rules – see Supported countries before you start.


Fees

  • No membership, monthly or issuance fees, and no minimum deposit.

  • 1% foreign exchange fee on non-USD purchases. USD purchases have none.

  • A third-party processing fee on disputes of $30 or more, whatever the outcome.

Every card shows a status in Cards › Manage cards, where you can also filter by status.

Roles

Card admins issue and manage cards. Cardholders use the cards assigned to them and only see their own – they don't need to be workspace members.


Funding

Cards spend from a dedicated card account held in USDC. Top up from another account in your workspace and withdraw what you don't need – both follow your workspace's approval settings, and auto top-up can refill the account for you.
