# Update Card

`PATCH /cards/{card_id}`

Update, freeze, or cancel a card. Updating the card's name, billing address, or limits requires both `payout:account:update` and `company:balance:read`; a card's assigned holder may update their own card's pin and frozen state with any user token.

## Request body

- object
  - `account_id` string — The owning account ID (a biz_ identifier). Provide this or user_id.
  - `billing` object — New billing address. Requires line1, city, region, postal_code, and country_code. On an invited card, passing billing alone (as the invited user) completes onboarding and starts card provisioning.
    - `city` string, required — Billing city.
    - `country_code` string, required — Billing country code, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.
    - `line1` string, required — Street address line 1.
    - `line2` string — Street address line 2.
    - `postal_code` string, required — Billing postal code.
    - `region` string, required — Billing region or state.
  - `canceled` boolean — Pass `true` to permanently cancel the card. A canceled card cannot be uncanceled. Cannot be combined with other fields.
  - `frozen` boolean — Pass `true` to freeze the card, `false` to unfreeze it. The assigned cardholder may freeze their own card without the payout:account:update scope.
  - `name` string — A display name for the card.
  - `pin` string — New 4-digit PIN. Can only be set on a card assigned to the acting user, who may set it without the payout:account:update scope.
  - `remove_limit` boolean — Pass `true` to remove the spending limit (make the card unlimited).
  - `spend_limit` number — Spending limit amount, in dollars.
  - `spend_limit_frequency` 'daily' | 'weekly' | 'monthly' | 'one_time' — The window the spend limit applies to.
  - `transaction_limit` number — Per-transaction limit amount, in dollars.
  - `user_id` string — The owning user ID (a user_ identifier). Provide this or account_id.
