# Card spending limits

Learn how card spending limits work and which limits can be configured for a card

Card limits control how much can be spent with a card.

Available limits include:

-   overall limit;
    
-   per transaction limit;
    
-   daily limit;
    
-   weekly limit;
    
-   monthly limit.
    

Limits are configured separately from [spending policies](https://help.elibrium.io/en/articles/38-what-is-a-spending-policy.md).

## How to configure card limits

1.  Open [**Cards**](https://app.elibrium.io/cards).
    
2.  Open card details.

> You can configure card limits when [issuing a card](https://help.elibrium.io/en/articles/5-how-to-issue-a-card.md).

After saving, new limits apply to future card transactions.

## **Important note**

-   Transactions that exceed configured limits are declined.
    
-   Appropriate permissions may be required to view and update card limits. If the option is unavailable, please contact your company administrator, account manager, or Elibrium support team.
