Create a Card Restriction

An issued card inherits the restrictions defined in the Card Program used to issue the card. You can also create additional restrictions for an issued card.

A restriction can either allow or block a transaction. For example, a restriction could allow transactions in a specific country, or could block transactions over a specific amount.

A restriction uses the following structure:

type operator value mode

For example, the following restriction does not allow ATM withdrawals over $500:

“type”: “CASH_WITHDRAWAL_TRANSACTION_AMOUNT_LIMIT”,

“operator”: “GT”,

“value”: “500”,

“mode”: “BLOCK”

To create a restriction, you will need:

ID of the integrated Financial Account linked to the issued card
Restriction type, operator, value, and mode

Note To enable and disable card restrictions, use the Update Card Restriction API.
