Important Things to Consider Before Getting a Virtual Credit Card

While virtual cards are convenient and offer a variety of perks, there are a few things to consider before getting started. Keep in mind that not all shops accept virtual credit cards. This is especially true for small organizations or those who have yet to embrace the digital trend. Furthermore, virtual cards cannot be used for certain transactions that require a physical card. However, Google Pay and Apple Pay will soon be integrated into STB Union, and all purchases will be available, except for ATM withdrawals. Indeed, this will enhance the financial comfort of customers.
