Controls that actually decline
A control you can see but that does not decline is worse than none. Every switch on an ICB card — freeze, channel, category, limit — is enforced at authorisation, and the hold shows on your balance the moment it is placed.

Takes effect at the next authorisation attempt, however many times you flip it. Unfreeze is just as fast.
Switch online, contactless, ATM and international independently — or block whole spending categories.
Per-transaction, daily and monthly caps are checked during authorisation, with the decline reason shown.
Report and reissue in one flow. The old card dies immediately and its pending holds are released.
The headline criteria, stated plainly. Full eligibility is confirmed during the application itself.

The next authorisation attempt on that card is declined. There is no batch, no overnight job — the switch is read during authorisation itself.
Yes. A blocked category or a frozen card declines recurring authorisations too, and you are told which subscription was declined rather than discovering it from a cancellation email.
When you spend in a currency you do not hold, we convert at the mid-market rate plus a single 0.35% spread. No fixed fee, no weekend markup, and the converted amount is shown on the authorisation.

Verify your identity, choose your currency, and start moving money the same day.
