title: Change Expensify Card limit
description: Increase or decrease the limit for an Expensify Card or for a group
---
<div id="expensify-classic" markdown="1">

You can set Expensify Card limits for each group in your organization, or you can set the limit per card.

2. Click the name of the domain.
1. Hover over **Settings** and click **Domains**.
2. Select the name of the domain you want to modify.
3. Next to the card, click **Edit Limit**.
4. Ensure the Custom Smart Limit toggle is enabled to be able to set a specific card limit. Otherwise, the card limit will be determined by the limit set for the group that the employee is in.
5. In the Limit Amount field, enter the desired limit. If set to $0, the card will be disabled for use until the limit is increased.
6. Click **Save**.
4. Make sure the **Custom Smart Limit** toggle is ON. This allows you to set a specific limit for the card. If it's OFF, the card’s limit will default to the group limit.
5. In the **Limit Amount** field, enter the desired limit:
- **$0** disables the card until the limit is increased.
6. Click **Save**.

# FAQ

**What happens if I set the limit to $0?**
Setting the limit to $0 will disable the card, meaning it cannot be used until the limit is increased.

**Can I set different limits for different employees?**
Yes, you can set individual card limits by enabling the **Custom Smart Limit** toggle. Without this, the employee's card will follow the group’s limit.
