Virtual Cards
How does a Virtual Card work?
A virtual prepaid Mastercard® or Visa® is a reloadable, online e-money card consisting of a standard card number, expiry date, and CVV number—just like a traditional debit, credit, or repaid card, but without the need for physical plastic.
Once created and funded, cardholders can instantly access their card details by selecting ‘Display Card Image’ from their dashboard. They’ll receive an email with instructions on retrieving their details, enabling immediate use without waiting for a card to arrive in the post.
Virtual cards can be used to make purchases online or over the phone at millions of businesses and retailers worldwide, providing fast, secure, and convenient access to funds.
Can Virtual Cards be added in my digital wallet?
Yes! You can add your card in your Google Pay and Apple Pay wallets!
Are Virtual Cards safe?
Yes. Just like a physical card, you must keep your virtual card details safe and secret. However, with a few clicks, cardholders can suspend their account. If you think your virtual card details may have been accessed by someone else, please follow the instructions below to secure your account from being further accessed.
Login to the B4B Cardholder platform from the app and follow the steps below:
- Select “Report Card Lost or stolen”
- Click the “Suspend” trigger. Note this will not
cancel your card and can be reversed. - Alternatively, select either Lost or Stolen to cancel your card and a new virtual card will be issued to you.
From the web browser portal:
- Click “Control card access”
- Click the “Suspend” trigger. Note this will not cancel your card and can be reversed.
- If you would like to report the card as Lost or Stolen either download the App or send our customer service team a secure message for
your cardholder portal by clicking the ‘Contact
us button’.
