Paying for purchases online, booking hotels, or subscribing with a virtual card from Octobank is convenient and secure.
What is a Virtual Card
A virtual card is a full-fledged debit card, but without the plastic. The card number, expiration date, and CVC code are stored in a mobile application. Its advantages include:
- instant issuance — it can be obtained through the Octo-Mobile app, without visiting a bank;
- security — ideal for online shopping: in online stores, for subscription payments for services, booking hotels, and airline tickets. If a user prefers not to enter the details of their primary card, they can enter the details of the virtual card instead;
- instant transfers to Octobank virtual cards within the Octo-Mobile app;
- contactless payments — the virtual card can be added to an NFC-enabled Android smartphone or smartwatches, such as Garmin, for contactless payments in stores.
How a Virtual Card Helped Sardor Purchase Items from a Foreign Online Store
Sardor is a fan of online shopping and seasonal sales. During the November sale "11.11," Sardor noticed a significant discount on headphones he had wanted for a long time in an online store. He decided not to link his primary card for payment. Instead, he chose the virtual card in the Octo-Mobile app.
The card issuance took just a couple of minutes — he selected a Visa card in dollars with a six-month validity period. Immediately after issuance, he added it to his account in the online store and ordered the headphones. The virtual card became a convenient payment method for him, and now Sardor also uses it to pay for subscriptions to services.
Advantages for Sardor:
- he protected his primary card and quickly completed the purchase during the sale;
- the virtual card became a convenient payment method not only for purchasing goods but also for subscriptions to foreign services;
- he can easily track expenses on the card and monitor transactions in Octo-Mobile.
