Visa Prepaid virtual cards

A Visa Prepaid virtual card is specifically designed for use on the internet and is a good option for people who want to buy online, but might not qualify for a conventional credit or debit card. It’s also ideal for people who want to keep their online spending separate from their main credit or debit card.

With a Visa Prepaid virtual card, you don’t actually receive a physical plastic card. Instead, the issuer will generally provide you with details of a card account (such as the card number, the expiry date and the security code) for you to use online. For example, some issuers may provide an electronic image of a card on a webpage or in an email while others may give you a reference card (possibly made of cardboard or in flexible plastic).

So, look towards to a Visa Prepaid virtual card for:

  • Control – your card can only be used online or over the telephone, and you can keep your online spending entirely separate from your everyday spending.
  • Security – you have the same level of security and protection that you would expect from any other Visa card.
  • Flexibility – because it’s a Visa card, it can be used at any websites that accept Visa payments.
