How to use Virtual Credit Card.
Virtual Card is a limit Debit card, which can be created using the Internet Banking facility for ecommerce (online) transactions.
The Card can be used to shop online at any merchant website that accepts Visa Cards, without any difference from a regular plastic Card.
The Card will be issued by marking a lien on the selected account and actual debit to the account will take place only when the Card is used.
Many people feel unsafe when using their own credit card because they fear their card information will be compromised for fraudulent purposes. One important advantage of virtual card is that you won't ever have to be concerned about revealing your personal information on the internet.
Virtual credit cards are, as the term describes, online cards which are not issued physically. It is a free service offered by banks to customers who wish to make an online payment using their credit cards.
