[About the cards](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/about-the-numarqe-platform?hsLang=en#about-the-cards) # How do I freeze / defrost / deactivate cards? ## Everything you need to know about managing your cards Simply go to the Cards page, select the card you want to freeze/deactivate etc, then using the Manage drop-down in the top right of the screen you can freeze/deactivate the card. If the card is frozen it will automatically stop any transactions and subscriptions for it.  To defrost a card, again just click on the card you want to defrost and you will see an info window with a button instructing ‘Defrost’. Once the card is defrosted it then allows the cardholder to make payments within their pre-set credit limit.     - [Onboarding to NUMARQE](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/onboarding-to-numarqe?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Accounting](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/onboarding-to-numarqe?hsLang=en#accounting) - [About your physical card](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/about-your-physical-card?hsLang=en) - [About the NUMARQE platform](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/about-the-numarqe-platform?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Platform walkthrough](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/about-the-numarqe-platform?hsLang=en#platform-walkthrough) - [About the cards](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/about-the-numarqe-platform?hsLang=en#about-the-cards) - [Key functionality](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/about-the-numarqe-platform?hsLang=en#key-functionality) - [About your NUMARQE card](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/about-your-numarqe-card?hsLang=en#main-content) - [My card details](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/about-your-numarqe-card?hsLang=en#my-card-details) - [Adding receipts to transactions](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/about-your-numarqe-card?hsLang=en#adding-receipts-to-transactions) - [Using your digital wallet](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/about-your-numarqe-card?hsLang=en#using-your-digital-wallet) - [Freezing / defrosting / deactivating a card](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/about-your-numarqe-card?hsLang=en#freezing-defrosting-deactivating-a-card) - [Card expiry and ordering new cards](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/about-your-numarqe-card?hsLang=en#card-expiry-and-ordering-new-cards) - [FAQ's](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Credit allowance](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/credit-allowance?hsLang=en) - [Travelling with NUMARQE](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/travelling-with-numarqe?hsLang=en) - [Fees and charges](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/fees-and-charges?hsLang=en) - [Account and profile](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/account-and-profile?hsLang=en) - [Emergencies](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/emergencies?hsLang=en) - [Security and fraud](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/security-and-fraud?hsLang=en) - [Our Terms & Conditions](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/our-terms-conditions?hsLang=en) - [Errors](https://support.numarqe.app/knowledge/errors?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.numarqe.app/hs-fs/hubfs/default%20light-1.png?width=168&height=29&name=default%20light-1.png "Chill listening crop-3")](http://numarqe.com) Support Center Copyright © 2026, NUMARQE
