How to decide

Frequently asked questions

Do I need both cards?

No. Most people only need the virtual card. Order the physical card if you want to pay in shops without a mobile wallet or withdraw cash.

Can I use the same promo code for both cards?

No. Codes are tied to a card type. Use a virtual card code for the virtual card and a physical card code for the physical card.

Which card should I order first?

The virtual card. It is cheaper, issued immediately, and lets you test the app with real payments before committing to the physical card.

Can I add the virtual card to Apple Pay or Google Pay?

Mobile wallet support depends on your region and the card type. Check the card details screen in the app for an "add to wallet" option before relying on it.
