How do I request a one-time virtual card?

A one-time virtual card is a digital card you can use for a single purchase. After your transaction, it automatically becomes invalid and cannot be reactivated or reissued. 

 

This type of card can be most helpful when: 

  • You need to pay on unfamiliar or less-trusted websites 

  • You need to make a one-time purchase without sharing your main card details 

  • For bookings or reservations where you’ll be charged later 

  • For other transactions where you prefer added security 

  •  

Please remember: 

  • You may issue up to 3 one-time virtual card requests a day 

  • You can only use one of these cards at a time 

  • Your one-time virtual card will remain active until its expiration date if not used 

  • You can request a one-time virtual card even without an active physical or virtual card, as long as your Credit Line is active
