Relay provides MasterCard debit cards which can be used anywhere credit cards are accepted. The card will only pull available funds from its account, it will not issue a credit.
A physical card will automatically be sent to your business address as soon as you open an account.

Virtual card
Virtual cards are issued and activated instantly. They can be used for online transactions and are compatible with Apple, Google and Samsung Pay for in-person payments at participating merchants.

You will be asked to nickname the card. You can choose to issue a virtual or physical card, and which account the card will pull funds from for payments.
This nickname will not be printed on the card, it is the name that will be displayed within the Relay portal.

Authorization types for cards
You can either issue:
- A company card
- An employee card
If you choose to connect a card to a specific employee by clicking the second option, a list of employees with Cardholder permissions and higher will appear. Bill payers do not have card permissions.
