What Are Virtual Cards and Why You Need One

What is a Virtual Card?

A virtual card is a digital payment card that exists only online. It has a card number, expiry date, and CVV — just like a physical card — but it's created instantly and stored in your wallet app.

Benefits of Virtual Cards

  • Instant Issuance: Get your card within seconds, no waiting for delivery.
  • Enhanced Security: Use single-use or limited-use cards for online purchases.
  • Budget Control: Set spending limits and expiry dates for each card.
  • Global Acceptance: Use wherever Visa or Mastercard is accepted.

How to Get Started

With Pexew, you can request a virtual card directly from your dashboard. Choose your funding wallet, set a limit, and start shopping online immediately.
