Issue a card and set a spend limit
Issue a card through our payment partner, with an optional name and spend limit. Its charges are paid from your balance with that partner.
Sling is software, not a bank. Accounts, balances, cards and payouts are provided by our payment partners and their banks under their terms.
Issue a card
- Open Cards.
- Under Issue a card, add a card name if you want, such as Ads or Travel.
- Enter a spend limit in USD if you want one. Leave it empty for no limit.
- If you set a limit, choose how it applies.
- Press Issue card.
Our payment partner issues the cards to you, the account owner, and they are available if they are on for your account.
How a limit can apply
- Per month
- Per week
- Per day
- In total
Per month is selected when you start. There is no option on this page to change a limit after the card is issued.
Your first card
If cards are not active on your account yet, the button says Request a card, and your first request starts a short card application. Press Finish the application if it appears. It opens in a new tab. Your card shows on the page once it is approved. If the page then says your application is approved, issue your first card there.
What you may see after pressing
- Card ready: your card can be used.
- Card on its way: your card is being made or set up.
- Invitation sent: the card holder was sent an invitation to finish the card.
- Application started: cards need a short application first.
- We are confirming this: we did not get a clear answer yet, so please do not send it again.
