Emerging digital trends and customer usage clearly indicates that there is space for both. A virtual card, like HDFC Bank’s Netsafe, is a card that a customer creates to protect the usage of the actual card credentials online. This feature is largely used by customers to carry out international online transactions (where there is no two-factor authentication). Virtual card also helps customers to keep a plastic for POS usage and a virtual card with different card credentials and a restricted limit for usage on various merchant websites.
