# Searching and filtering employee cards

Employees with permissions that include card access, such as Payhawk Administrators, Team Managers, and other custom roles, can monitor corporate cards in a fast and efficient way.

## Searching through cards

You can search through your employees' cards by the following criteria:

- Cardholder's name.
- Card's name.
- The last four digits of the card number.

To search for a specific employee's card:

1. In the [Payhawk Web Portal](https://portal.payhawk.com), go to **Cards** > **All cards**.
2. Click on the **Search** icon. In the input field, select the desired search criteria.

> [!TIP]
> - The **All cards** view shows only individual employees' cards that are not linked to team cards.
> - The search option applies to all **Active**, **Inactive**, **Closed**, and **All** regardless of which one is currently open (active).

## Filtering cards

You can filter corporate cards by various criteria, such as currency, expiry date, status, available funds, limit, spend policy, and more. Applied filters affect what data is included when you download card data. For more information, see the article about [downloading card data](/help/downloading-card-data).

To filter cards:

1. Go to **Cards** > **All cards**.
2. Click on **Filters**. If you have already applied a filter, you can also click on **Add filter** to aggregate the filtering criteria.
3. Select the desired filter and the values you want to include.
4. Click on **Done**.

You can combine the search and filter options, and, for example, look for all Payhawk cards in GBP of an employee:
