A virtual credit card is a disposable payment card that can be used to make purchases or payments over the Internet. These cards provide inherent protection to cardholders, since the user is provided a new credit card number every time s/he makes a purchase on the Internet. This is why this card is sometimes also called the "single-use card numbers."
Virtual credit cards are available as the MasterCard Gift Cards (by MasterCard) and Virtual Visa Gift Cards (by Visa), and work in a way that is similar to an online gift voucher. Virtual credit cards are issued by most credit card issuers and major banks.
