Looking for an easy and reliable way to pay bills on advertising platforms? Virtual payment cards are made for this. Let’s look closer
The main task of a virtual card is payment for various services. Such cards can be loaded with cryptocurrency (BTC, USDT, etc.) or other methods and used to pay for goods and services around the world in $ and €. Media buyers use them for ad platforms such as Google Ads and Facebook Ads, and for work tools and online services. Some cards can be added to e-wallets (Google Pay and Apple Pay).
Setting up a new account at a virtual card service can take time and effort: a long sign-up process, a KYC interview, etc. Some services keep it simple and let you sign up in a few clicks with a Google or Telegram account or a new login and password. Check in advance which documents are needed, what the limits are before KYC, and how many cards you can issue after it.
Top-up methods usually include USDT TRC-20 (Tether) and Bitcoin, wire transfers (SWIFT, SEPA), and sometimes Visa and Mastercard. Check whether withdrawals are available and on what terms.
Team functions matter when several buyers work with one budget. Look for the ability to manage employees (inviting, suspending, and changing roles), set spend limits, transfer cards and funds between team accounts, see the transaction history of all team members, and download reports in CSV format.
