Virtual Card

Sergey-Indigo-Leopard

There are virtual card services like Emburse and Bento but only for US companies.
Is Bunq planning to add such service any time soon? Would be fantastic.

I guess the companies that are in need of such a service are not the companies that bunq would like to have.

Virtual cards are -as I understand it- just a way to track different spendings by card number. Companies that are large enough to loose overview on their spendings are often companies that require more than bunq wants to offer.

They are likely to want their bank to invest or lend money, things bunq is not likely to offer.

Sam 🇳🇱🇬🇧 Virtual cards are mainly for security reasons like different card numbers for every purchase, single use cards for subscriptions for which you don’t want to think if you cancelled the renewal option or not, enabling/disabling the days which it can be used. Assigning just the monetary amount necessary for the purchase, etc.

Virtual cards would be great for Apple Pay as well :) No need to get a extra piece of plastic to have two accounts. You get one normal card that you link to Apple Pay and assign a secondary pin to it. Then the virtual card you assign to the same account the secondary pin points to. You only need one physical card that way and still get essentially the same functionality in AP.

Can we please get virtual cards so we can route reoccurring payments again?! 😭

Andreas Bunq should just bring Bach the rerouting feature. Virtual cards in top would be a nice bonus I guess.

Heda I known this post is a bit old, but what was the rerouting feature, and why was it stopped?

I think having the disposable virtual credit cards like Revolut does would be a great addition and fraud prevention.

Délano Yes, both virtual and disposable virtual cards would be amazing!

LimeLlama

Yes, I agree too. Virtual / disposable cards would be a great addition to bunq. The added security would really be useful.
