Virtual Cards can be used for online (or remote) purchases only because they do not exist in plastic and can’t be presented in-person. They avail additional security mechanics at user’s disposal and are easy for purchasing, storing and using directly via a Standard account for iCard Digital Wallet.
The primary reason for using virtual cards is that they give users an additional safety layer when shopping online. This is important because secure online browsing is not always easily achieved even for more advanced users.
What exactly is a virtual debit card?
