What are virtual cards?

Virtual cards are digital versions of the plastic FairFX cards you might already have in your wallet, recommended for making payments that you know will always take place online.

However by assigning to a person on your FairFX account, you can also use virtual cards with digital wallets, allowing in-person purchases using personal devices such as smartphones and smartwatches.*

*Available exclusively to ‘Standard’ account customers.
