Optimal online acceptance and ease of use
Integrated with the global Mastercard network, these virtual cards are widely accepted by online retailers. This makes them ideal for use on international platforms like Amazon, Google, and other services requiring a Mastercard credit card. You are instantly ready to make secure, hassle-free online payments while benefiting from broad acceptance for a fast and safe payment experience.
Contactless payments in-stores
The Virtual Spend Cloud Cards are primarily designed for online payments but can also be linked to Apple Pay and Google Pay for contactless payments in stores that accept Mastercard credit cards.
Note: In the Netherlands, not all physical stores accept Mastercard credit cards. If you use Apple Pay or Google Pay with a physical Spend Cloud Card, the acceptance rate is often higher, as it functions as a debit card and is accepted at more locations.Sustainable and cost-efficient
Since these cards are digital, they eliminate the usual shipping and distribution costs associated with physical payment cards. This makes the Virtual Spend Cloud Cards not only more cost-efficient but also an environmentally friendly choice that contributes to a more sustainable future.
With just a few clicks, you can activate your card and be ready to shop securely online. Their wide acceptance on the internet makes these cards ideal for a user-friendly, fast, and secure (online) payment experience.
