What is a virtual card?

Updated:

A ZEN virtual card is available immediately, so you can start paying without waiting for a physical card to arrive. You can use it for online payments or add it to Apple Wallet, Google Pay, Garmin Pay, or Xiaomi Pay and pay wherever you are, in-store or online.

It works like a regular card, just without the plastic. This makes it a quick and flexible option when you want to start using your card straight away.

How much does a virtual card cost?

The cost of a ZEN virtual card depends on your plan. In some plans, your first virtual card is free. In others, you can get several virtual cards at no cost.

If a card issuance fee applies, it is always shown in the app and charged automatically when you order the card.
