The Payhawk **Dashboard** allows Payhawk Administrators to link the first corporate card of a type (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) for the company. Once linked, employees can then link their own corporate cards of the same type individually from **Cards** > **Linked cards**, reached from the app switcher in the top-left corner. For an employee to be able to link a Visa corporate card, a Payhawk Administrator must have already linked at least one corporate Visa card for the company. The same applies to Mastercard and American Express Cards: employees (and Basic Card Members, in the case of American Express) will only be able to link their cards individually after a Payhawk Administrator at the company has linked at least one corporate card of the same type. ### Payhawk **Dashboard** The **Link your card** option is visible to Payhawk Administrators only if no corporate cards have been linked yet. If you don’t see the **Link your card** option on the **Dashboard**, go to [**Cards** > **Linked cards**](/help/linking-your-corporate-cards-to-payhawk#linked-cards-app) to start linking your corporate card. 1. Click on **Link your card**. ![The Dashboard with the Try out Payhawk Link your card step and the Apps panel.](https://cdn.payhawk.com/navigation-redesign-didi_20261009_ai/linking-your-corporate-cards-to-payhawk-01_20261009_ai.png) 2. In the dialog that opens, start entering your card number. Based on the card network (Visa , Mastercard, or American Express), the system will automatically guide you through the required steps. ### **Linked cards** From **Cards** > **Linked cards** (reached from the app switcher in the top-left corner): - Employees can link their corporate cards individually after a Payhawk Administrator has linked at least one corporate card of that type (Visa, Mastercard, or American Express Main Card). - Payhawk Administrators can link American Express Main Cards, bulk-link Mastercard and Visa cards, and assign Additional Card Members’ cards. - Basic Card Members can link their own American Express Main Cards.
