KleerCard gives you both, and you can use them together however works best for your team.

Physical cards

Physical cards are great for staff and leaders who make in-person purchases, like picking up supplies, buying groceries for an event, or paying at the hardware store.

Virtual cards

Virtual cards are perfect for online purchases, such as subscriptions, event registrations, or one-time vendor payments. They're created instantly, so you don't have to wait for anything to arrive in the mail.

Can we use both?

Absolutely. Many organizations give physical cards to staff who shop in person and use virtual cards for recurring online expenses. Unlimited physical and virtual cards are included on every plan.

Do both kinds of cards have the same controls?

Yes. Every card, physical or virtual, can have its own spending limit, and every purchase shows up in your dashboard right away, tied to the cardholder and the receipt.
