Virtual debit card prepaid FAQs

What is a virtual prepaid card?

This digital payment card functions similarly to a regular prepaid card but exists only online. You won’t receive a physical card but you’ll still have a card number, expiry date and CCV number that you can view on a screen.

Your virtual card is preloaded with a specific amount of funds and can be used for purchases or payments anywhere – basically, wherever you would be able to use a regular card.

Virtual prepaid debit cards help you manage corporate expenses, team budgets, vendor payments or employee incentives. They also include enhanced security features to prevent fraud or misuse.

Prepaid virtual credit cards are issued instantly via our online management platform. You can create and distribute cards in just a few clicks, removing the need for physical manufacturing or shipping.
