Unfreezing the card

To unfreeze the card, follow the same steps and tap the "Unfreeze" button.

Admin froze card:

If an admin freezes an employee's card, the employee cannot unfreeze it themselves. In such cases, the employee needs to contact an admin or department manager to unfreeze the card. Any admin can unfreeze the card, not just the one who froze it. When an admin unfreezes the card, a notification is sent to the cardholder.

Employee froze card:

If an employee freezes their own card, they have the authority to unfreeze it themselves and continue using the card for transactions.

Note: We send an email notification on freezing and unfreezing of cards to affected users and the admins who initiated the action will receive notifications with all relevant details, including the name of the admin who took the action, the date and time of the incident
