Virtual card characteristics
In the past, it usually took two or three weeks to apply for a bank's physical credit card, from application, approval to getting a credit card, but online application for a virtual credit card can be used. In terms of functional use, virtual credit cards are similar to physical credit cards, except that they cannot be swiped on POS machines like physical credit cards. Virtual credit cards can also be used for online and offline payment, such as binding third-party payment channels such as Alipay or WeChat for online payment.
