Guide to Ordering Your First Card
Ordering a card with Pemo is simple and seamless. Whether you're choosing a virtual card for quick access or a physical card for on-the-go purchases, the process is almost identical, with just a few extra details needed for physical card delivery. We've put together easy to follow guides on how to order your first card along with a video.
When creating a new card, you’ll see two tabs: Create card and Advanced controls.
In Create Card, you can select the card type, assign a cardholder, add a label, and set transaction and cycle limits by day, week, month, or year.
Advanced Controls offers optional customizations, like restricting spending to specific merchants or locations and enabling ATM withdrawals for physical cards.
Ordering a virtual card
Pemo Power Tip: With Pemo, you get unlimited virtual cards with every subscription plan—even the free one. It’s smart to create separate virtual cards for different online payments, like one for Facebook Ads and another for software subscriptions. This way, you’ll have better control over your monthly budgets and an easier time tracking expenses.

Ordering a physical card
Pemo Power Tip: You can order one physical card per team member/user.
Step 1️⃣ - Head to the Cards Section
Start by heading to the "Cards" section on your dashboard. Click "Issue New Card" in the top right corner to get started.

Step 3️⃣ - Choose the Cardholder

After selecting the cardholder, input their phone number. The cardholder will then be able to arrange for delivery of their card at a time that suits. The cardholder must be present at the delivery address with a valid EID to receive the card. Need special delivery arrangements? Contact our support team at support@pemo.io beforehand.
