The maximum validity period for a Temporary-Use Virtual card is 1 year. Cards will expire at the end of the set validity period.

Once the card has been successfully issued, it will be available in the user's web portal and mobile app for activation. The Account Owner will receive an email to let them know that a new card has been issued, and Admins can track the status of this card on this Cards screen.

The user will need to log in to the Mobile or Web App and activate their new card before they can start spending.
