What are virtual cards?
Just like their physical counterparts, virtual cards have a 16-digit number that is automatically generated and assigned to a customer’s account. They are, in many cases, the preferred form of payment because they can be issued and used immediately. Marqeta provides virtual cards with Just-in-Time Funding that happens in real time to optimize cash flow. Marqeta also makes it easier to control and track funds tied to the virtual card number.
