# Approving a Spend Rule Request

> A streamlined 'Spend rule requests' workflow allows employees to request temporary or permanent changes to their spend rules, while giving admins full visibility and control.

Designed for both Credit and Prepaid customers, this feature includes approval flows, instant notifications, and full support on both mobile and web, so your team can stay responsive, compliant, and in control no matter where they are. \
Turn on the 'Use Auto-Card funding' for your pre-fund expense cardholder to enable spend rule requests for them.
