Introducing the myPOS virtual card

Note:  Currently, virtual cards are only available in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Gibraltar.

The myPOS virtual card gives you immediate, secure access to your funds the moment you set it up – no waiting for physical delivery or production delays. Designed for speed and flexibility, it’s perfect for merchants who want to start managing payments right away. And the first one is completely free of charge. For now, you can get one card per verified user but additional cards are coming soon.

Use it for online purchases and in-store payments through Apple Pay or Google Pay. Every transaction is protected with bank-grade security. 
 
It also gives you the flexibility to get a virtual card whenever your business needs it – for a new project, a dedicated budget, or team use – all managed effortlessly from your myPOS app.

How to get your virtual card:

1. Open your myPOS app on your mobile device. 
2. Go to the Cards section. 
3. Tap the '+' icon in the top-right corner, then select Order New Card.
4. Select “Virtual card”, confirm your details, and your card will be issued instantly. 
5. Add it directly to Apple Pay or Google Pay for immediate contactless use in stores or online.

Your payments are protected by two-step authentication and 3D Secure. You can also freeze, unfreeze, or set spending limits through your myPOS app anytime and anywhere.
