What is the difference between a company's Credit Limit, Department Limit, User Limit, and Card Limit? [user]

Credit Limit

Your company's credit limit is the amount your account can spend within a statement period. This limit is dynamic by design and is regularly adjusted by Sunwest Bank according to your spending patterns and cash balances. You can only request an increase in this limit once every four months, and it is subject to review and approval.

Department Limit

The department limit is a department's maximum spending limit. It is set to control the collective amount spent by users within a department. An account admin can adjust this limit anytime via the app.

User Limit

The user limit is the spending limit set for each user in a Department. This determines the maximum amount a user can spend in a statement period. All users in a department share the Department Limit, which means the sum of all users' limits can not exceed the set Department Limit.

Card Limit

The card limit refers to the maximum amount charged or spent on a user's physical or virtual card. The Admin determines the card limit for each user card, which should be lower than the user limit. The card limit helps control spending on a specific card and can be adjusted by a designated company Admin user.
