What is the difference between a credit limit and user limit?
Company credit limits
Your company's credit limit is the amount that you can spend as a team within your statement period. This limit is dynamic by design and is regularly adjusted by Brex according to your spending patterns and cash balances.
Credit limits don't reset after a specific time period. Once your current balance has been settled–either when your statement is due or after you’ve made an early payment–you’ll have access to the full limit again.
User limit
Your user limit is the amount that you’re able to spend as an individual user every month. It will reset on the 1st of every month and is determined by your company admin. This limit is independent of your company's credit limit and spending as a whole.
Admins can set or change user limits by following instructions in How do I change a team member's user limit?.
Limit applicability
The limit that is lowest will take precedence. Please see the examples below.
- If your user limit is $100 and your company credit limit is $300, you’ll only be able to spend up to $100.
- If your user limit is $400 and your company credit limit is $200, you’ll only be able to spend up to $200.
