How your virtual card number works
Virtual card numbers are a way to keep your payment card information even more secure. For fraud protection, your 3-digit security code changes frequently with usage and over time. You can use your virtual card number online wherever Visa is accepted.
You can set up Safari AutoFill on your iPhone and iPad to easily access your virtual card number and use it to make purchases where Apple Pay isn't available. And you can request a new virtual card number if you suspect fraudulent activity.
