Virtual cards

An extra layer of security for your cards.

Virtual cards are cards that you can generate from your Bankinter credit or debit card. They offer greater security and better control of your expenditure for purchases online and physical stores and for cash withdrawals from ATMs.

  • The conditions for these virtual cards are the same as for your Bankinter card: authorised balance, payment method, etc.
  • They are free, they won't cost you anything.
  • There are two models, and you can choose both.

1. Single-use card: the highest security for your online spending.

I'm buying something, so I'll create a card.
