How To Create And Manage Vendor Cards With Rho

Rho offers more than just employee cards—you can also set up dedicated Vendor Cards. These cards are designed specifically for vendor payments, making it simple to keep your business spend organized. Creating a Vendor Card You can create Vendor Cards individually or in bulk, depending on your needs, with just a few clicks: From the Cards Tab Navigate to the Cards Tab from the navigation. Select Create Card, then choose Vendor Card. On the setup screen: Select your Vendor : Select an existing vendor from the list, or type a new name to create one automatically when the card is created. Configure Settings : Adjust International spend (ON by default), and optional spend controls like merchant restrictions and usage date s. Click Create Card , and you will see a confirmation that your card has been created. From the Vendors Tab In addition to creating vendor cards through the Cards tab, you can now create a single-use vendor card directly from the vendor creation flow: Navigate to Vendors > Click Add Vendor Complete the vendor details as needed Under the Payment Account dropdown, select Single-use vendor card Finish creating the vendor Once selected, a single-use vendor card will be automatically created and linked to that vendor. Note: When creating a card through the Cards flow, you can choose between different card limit types.

You can do so quickly by uploading a CSV file. When you upload your CSV: Rho will automatically create the corresponding Vendor Cards . If a listed vendor does not already exist, Rho will automatically create the vendor as part of the process. To get started, navigate to the Cards Tab , select Create New Card → Bulk Create Cards to upload your CSV file. Note : Vendor cards are currently a web-only feature, so they won’t appear in the mobile app. At present, the mobile app will display only cards of the users on the account, and new cards can only be created for those same users. Completing Setup On the confirmation page, you have a few options: Return to your Cards dashboard or View the Card Switch subscription Share card details via email (defaults to the cardholder, but you can change to the desired email address) Upon selecting the “Switch subscription” option, Rho will automatically match it to a subscription carrying the same name as the Vendor card. Managing Vendor Cards All your Vendor Cards appear under the Vendor Cards tab within the main Cards dashboard. From here, you can: View card status and transaction history Adjust card settings Manage card sharing and controls Deleting Users or Vendors If the user who created a Vendor Card is removed, you will be prompted to delete the card. Similarly, if a Vendor profile is deleted, all linked Vendor Cards will be canceled.

Understanding Rho Card Controls

All Rho Cards can be set up with custom controls to prevent fraudulent, out-of-policy, or unexpected spending before it happens. Here are the controls you can set up for your Rho Cards: Set monthly spending limits When you create a new Rho Card, you have the option to set a monthly spending limit. That means that any transaction that would exceed the monthly limit will be declined. Monthly card limits reset on the 1st of each month. The card limit can be changed in your Card Settings ( here's how ). Note : If you have a user limit, your card limit cannot exceed that amount. User limits are set by Admins and Account Owners. Learn more about user limits here . Billing and shipping address By default, billing addresses for Rho Cards are set to your organization's billing address. However, you can set a different billing address for each Rho Card. For the majority of cases, using your organization’s billing address on file won’t cause any issues. However, some merchants may decline card transactions when the shipping address doesn’t match the billing address. To avoid these declines, you can add a different billing address to your card. Merchant-level controls Merchant-specific controls : You can limit a card's acceptance to a group of up to 20 distinct merchants. This means the card will only be accepted at those merchants, and transactions at merchants not on that list will be declined. Merchant category controls : You can limit a card's acceptance to specific merchant categories (ex. Advertising Services, Airlines, Grocery Stores), which are set by Mastercard, the network partner for Rho Cards. You can also set merchant-level controls at the company level. See more here . International Spend By default, all Rho Cards have international spending enabled, meaning the card will go through for all transactions outside of the US. This can be toggled off and on at any time. Fixed spending limits To set a one-time limit for a virtual Rho Card, select Fixed in the Card Limit Type field. This means that the card can only be used up to a certain dollar amount. Note: the limit cant be changed once the card is created. To set a one-time usage limit for a virtual Rho Card, select Single-Use. Note: the limit cant be changed once the card is created. Card Usage Dates You can set up custom active dates for your card, meaning that it can only be used between specified days. Note : By default, all Rho cards expire 3 years from issue date. Accounting Automation You can configure accounting automation settings for physical cards to help streamline reconciliation and categorization of transactions.

Switch Your Vendors To The Rho Card

We are excited to introduce a new feature in partnership with Sunlight, a third-party vendor, that allows users to seamlessly switch their card details on external platforms to their Rho card. This article will walk you through how this feature works. Important note: This feature will become available to all clients in the upcoming weeks. Traditionally, clients who wish to switch their software subscription payments to their Rho card have had to log in to each platform individually and manually update their payment details. With our new feature, users with the Manage Subscriptions permission can change subscriptions directly within the Rho platform. This permission is enabled by default for Account Owners, Admins, and Budget Owners. Users simply select the provider, input their username and password, and change the card automatically. How can I use this feature? To utilize this feature, follow these steps: Navigate to the Cards Tab : Log into your Rho account and go to the Cards tab. Access Switch Subscriptions : Click on the Switch Subscriptions feature. Initiate Card Switch: Click on the Switch to Rho card option. Select the Rho card you wish to use and the vendor you want to update. Authenticate with Sunlight: You will be redirected to the Sunlight widget. Log in using your vendor credentials. Automatic Card Update: Once logged in, the system will automatically attempt to update the card on file. Confirmation : If successful, the vendor will be listed as updated in the table, and future payments will be processed through your Rho card. FAQs What happens if it fails? Users can attempt the process again if the card switch fails or times out. Sunlight has a high success rate, so retrying is recommended. What if the vendor is not listed? Sunlight supports over 200 vendors and is continually expanding its list. Can this change be reversed? No, the integration does not support reversing the change. However, you can simply make another attempt by clicking retry on that vendor in the table.

For example, using the default 95% , if your credit limit is $100,000, once your credit balance is over $95,000, this will trigger Rho to automatically create an interim payment via an ACH Pull. Customize Your Payment Amount Next, customize your payment amount. This is calculated as a percentage of your total credit limit. The default is 5%. You can set a payment amount between 1 and 99%. For example, using the default 5% - if your credit limit is $100,000, once your credit balance has exceeded $95,000 (per the above example), Rho will automatically make an interim payment of $5,000 via ACH Pull. This card payment of $5,000 will be applied to your card balance in order to enable continuous spending. Select Your Payment Account Source Finally, you must select the account from which you would like the interim payment to be automatically paid. An automatic ACH pull will occur for the preset % amount once the threshold is hit. Available accounts include: Your Rho checking account Your linked account at a third-party financial institution For more information about linking an external account, see How can I link a business account to my Rho account?

Card Expiration And Renewal

This article provides detailed information on what happens when a Rho card expires and the steps involved in the renewal process. Card Expiration Expiration Timeline : Both physical and virtual cards remain active throughout the entire month of their expiration date. For example, if a card's expiration date is August 5th, it will remain active until the end of August and will only truly expire and be canceled on the first of the following month. Automatic Reissuance : Once a card expires, it is automatically canceled, and a replacement card is issued. For physical cards, the reissued card will be shipped to the same address as the original card. The new physical card will be sent out before the expiration date, ensuring that you have a replacement card ready to use without any interruption in service. Managing Expired Cards Recurring Subscriptions : Recurring subscriptions linked to an expiring card will be automatically transferred to the newly issued card. However, if a merchant does not support automatic transfer, the subscription will need to be manually added to the new card. Important Notes New Card Number : The new card will have a new card number. Card numbers are unique to each card, and therefore, any new cards will have a different number. Unfortunately, card numbers cannot be transferred. Updating Shipping Address : If you wish to update the shipping address for a physical card, please reach out to Customer Service as soon as you receive the email notification about the card's reissuance. Notifications : Clients will receive emails before their cards expire to help them prepare.
