How Kolo Works

What organizations, accounts, cards and transactions are in Kolo, and where to start.

Kolo helps your team manage budgets, issue virtual cards, and review spending in one place.

Part of Kolo

What it is

Organization

Your company’s space in Kolo — your team, accounts, cards, and transaction history

Accounts

Hold your funds. Use separate accounts for different teams, clients, or budgets

Cards

Virtual cards that spend the funds of the account they’re linked to

Transactions

A record of deposits, transfers, exchanges, card payments, and refunds

Your Organization

Your organization is your company’s space in Kolo. It contains your team, accounts, cards, and transaction history.

Your role controls what you can do across the organization. Access to individual accounts can give you additional permissions. See Roles and Permissions.

Your Accounts

An account holds funds. You can use separate accounts for different teams, clients, or budgets. Each account can hold supported currencies and assets.

Good to know: a card doesn’t have its own balance. It uses the funds in the account it’s linked to.

Your Cards

Each card has a cardholder — the person whose name it’s issued in. A card can also be assigned to people who need access to it in Kolo. Assigning a card doesn’t change its cardholder.

For the available card product and its payment rules, see About Ads Cards.

Your Transactions

Transactions record activity such as deposits, transfers, exchanges, card payments, and refunds. Your permissions determine which transactions you can see.
