This guide applies to all users on Spendesk who own a personal Spendesk physical card.

Good Practices for Physical Card Owners

  • Never share your card details with a colleague, friend, family member, or partner.

  • Do not share your card within the team. Spendesk provides cards at no cost to you, including shipping, so every Spendesk member can have their own card.

  • Use single-use cards whenever possible to keep your physical card exclusive for in-person payments.

  • Withdraw cash (if this feature is activated) only from ATMs at reputable banks.

  • Regularly check your recent transactions—if you haven't enabled notifications, it's recommended to review your payments every few days.

Online Security Tips

  • Prefer websites with 3D Secure enabled or use a single-use card if you're unsure about the legitimacy of a site. If you're uncertain, reach out to our support team via chat for verification.

  • Avoid saving your card details on websites whenever possible.

  • Do not make payments over the phone. In most cases, phone payments won't be processed successfully.

  • If you suspect a fraudulent transaction, block your card (at least temporarily) and contact us (support@spendesk.com).
