Venn "Control Type", also known as merchant category controls, allow users with the role "Owner" or "Admin" to manage where Venn Mastercards can be used by setting restrictions based on the category the merchant has listed themselves in. These optional controls help businesses manage expenses by blocking or allowing card usage at specific types of merchants. This type of control feature is only available for the Venn Mastercard. Note: You can apply one control type per Venn Mastercard. Each card can have its own set of controls.
