    virtual cards

    Do you mean tap-to-pay, or do you mean card numbers you can use for online purchases?

      I think a more apt description would be proxy cards. It’s relatively new, but it lets you create cards that are linked to your primary without ever issuing a plastic card. This way if fraud happens you only need to replace it for the services it was used on. Or if you happen to lose your physical card, you can have it replaced without affecting the others.

        I think this is the same thing as when I said

        card numbers you can use for online purchases

        I admittedly didn’t describe it very well, though.
