If you’re using a virtual card for online purchases or subscriptions, setting up a limit is a smart move to ensure that you don’t overspend or fall victim to fraud. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to set up a limit on your virtual card and why it’s important to do so.

Why Set Up a Limit on Your Virtual Card?

Virtual cards are a convenient way to make online purchases without exposing your primary credit or debit card information. However, they can also be vulnerable to fraud and overspending. By setting up a limit on your virtual card, you can:

• Control your spending: A limit ensures that you don’t spend more than you intend to or have available in your account. Setting up a credible budget is very important, which you can read more about here.

• Avoid unauthorized charges: A limit can prevent unauthorized charges on your virtual card by limiting the amount that can be charged.
