A digital credit card is created and distributed electronically in real time, widely accepted, and secured with strong controls not available with other payment methods. Virtual cards support multiple transactions and multi-vendor applications or can be restricted to a single payment of a predefined amount with a single vendor. Multiple account funding options extend the potential to new payment models and use cases.
