As a business owner, you know how important it is to stay on top of your spending. You’ve split your funds into smart accounts, built in buffers for taxes and inventory, and finally feel on top of your cash flow… until the time comes to actually make a purchase and your spend management is thrown into chaos.
Card customization for Relay Visa® Debit Cards and Relay Visa® Credit Cards puts an end to the spend management confusion. Forget shuffling through cards to find the right one or struggling to track who spent every dollar (and where). Card customization makes it easier to spend in the moment, and clearer to manage your team's spending as you grow. Relay cards have always helped business owners manage their spend (and their team’s spend) with clarity and control. And now, with card customization, you get another layer of visual organization that makes spend management easier and more intuitive. Here’s how:
Create 30+ unique designs for all new cards
Choose from spend category illustrations like marketing & advertising or software & subscriptions to match each card with the purpose of its account
Combine colors and spend category illustrations so no two cards look the same
The moment spending happens is where good financial systems either hold up or fall apart. Card customization meets that moment head-on: making every swipe and tap more intentional and connected to your broader cash flow strategy. It’s one more way that Relay is evolving into the go-to platform for business banking, spending, saving, and growing—all in one place.
Now available in all Relay plans—Starter, Grow, and Scale—customize your debit and credit cards with purpose. Sign up or log in and get started by creating any new card now.
Check out without self-doubt
Morgan runs a fast-growing online fashion retailer, and—being a savvy Relay user following the Profit First system—has set up accounts for everything from operating expenses to marketing to travel.
But there’s one part that still feels messy: the moment she goes to actually spend that money. At checkout, she finds herself second-guessing. Her wallet is full of identical cards. Which one’s which?
Card customization pairs colors, like evergreen, copper, and pink, with illustrations to create over 30 designs to help her find the right card when you need it. Spend category illustrations, like meals & entertainment or marketing & advertising, mean she’ll always know which card to reach for to be sure she's spending from the right places.
Colors and spend category illustrations to create cards for whatever your spending needs:
Debit Card Colors | Credit Card Colors | Spend Category Illustrations |
Evergreen | Dark Evergreen | ✈️Travel & Transportation |
Pink | Dark Pink | 📣 Marketing & Advertising |
Sand | Black | 🍿Meals & Entertainment |

Clearly track team spending
What started as a solo operation is now a lean, five-person team. Morgan’s assistant handles inventory orders. Her social media manager buys ads. The studio lead picks up lunch during photoshoots. Everyone’s empowered to spend, but that doesn’t mean Morgan’s in the dark.
With Relay, she can create a card for each team member, set smart controls (like limits and category restrictions), and now, customize each card to reflect its purpose. Her team member, Sam's, travel card? A deep evergreen card with a ✈️ icon. The marketing card? Bright pink all the way. Morgan can tell at a glance who has which card and what it’s for.
And because everything lives in Relay, she sees all spending in one place: across all accounts, all cards, and all employees.
🤔 She can make changes on the fly, like increasing the limit on the marketing card mid-campaign or pausing a card entirely if something’s off.
🧾 With receipt capture built in, she doesn’t have to chase anyone down at month-end.
This is what modern spend management looks like: easy, flexible, and fully in sync with how she runs her business.
