The US Unlocked Virtual Payment Cards

Shop online with ease while still being totally secure.
There are two US Unlocked Virtual Payment Card types that you have access to once you create a US Unlocked Account!

The One-Time-Use Card

This card was created to give you peace of mind and the highest level of security when making online purchases. The One-Time Use card generates a new card number after every transaction. Don’t worry, this simply means that a merchant will never be able to charge you twice for a good or service.

Places we use the One-Time Use Card

  • Merchants where there are not frequent repeat purchases
  • Shopping new sites online
  • One-off purchases

Merchant Specific Cards

Much like the One-Time Use Card, the Merchant Specific Cards were designed to provide the highest level of security while allowing for repeat purchases at a single merchant. This means the Card number is locked to the first merchant it is used for.

Places we use the Merchant Specific Cards

  • Subscription-based services
  • Vendors where we have frequent repeat purchases (ie. Amazon, iTunes, Walmart, etc)
  • Places where we need to be able to make repeat purchases

Setting Spending Limits for Merchant Specific Cards

Merchant Specific Cards have an optional setting where you can configure how much and how frequently a merchant can pull funds from your card. This gives you full control of your assets and more power while shopping online.
