Card payments notifications

You can enable card payment notifications within your profile:

2. Select Notifications
3. Scroll down to Expenses

Here, you can enable two types of card payment notifications:

• Available balance warning: you will receive an email and a notification when you are about to reach the card limit or if you have already exceeded it. Factorial sends these notifications for both physical and virtual multi-use cards. Single-use cards are excluded.

• Payment declined: you will receive a push and email notification when a card payment is declined for three reasons:
  1. Spending controls are blocking this payment (due to amount or category)
  2. Not enough available balance in the specific card being used
  3. Not enough available balance in the general card account
