Virtual Cards

Overview

A virtual card is a payment method that is virtual rather than physical. Virtual cards offer enhanced security compared to physical cards. Since the virtual card details are unique and different from the user's physical card, the risk of fraud or identity theft is reduced. Virtual cards can also be disabled or deleted if they are lost or stolen.
