Ramp is designed to be flexible with changes in your business spending. If an upcoming event (such as a team offsite) requires additional spend in the current card cycle, cardholders may temporarily change their card limit.
Temporary changes to the spend limit will automatically reset to the default at the start of the next card cycle. This feature is available both on the dashboard and the Slack integration.

General Cardholders
To request a temporary card limit change:
- Navigate to “My Cards” on your Ramp dashboard
- Select the card you want to request a change for
- Click “Edit Card”
4. Under “Amount”, type in your requested amount
5. Toggle for whether you are requesting a temporary change (default) or permanent change
6. Select “Save Changes” when ready
7. Add request details on the next panel

That’s it! Your request has been sent to your approval chain and is reflected in your card panel. You will receive an email notification once the limit is approved or rejected.
