This service is really great. Just because I don’t think its really safe to use real credits card information on different site that are not trusted. So virtual credit card is great and let shop anywhere without revealing our credit card information

I am representing a small community bank.
Does someone know a company that would help us to develop this type of service for our customers?
What I mean having our cardholders sign in to the bank’s network, and not a third party provider to get the Virtual Card number?

Use Citi VAn for items like magazines sites, Vistaprint, or unfamilar vendors.
Always set a small limit and 2 month expiration. Works well.

@Mike – Yeah, I hadn’t heard much about it either. You’d think they would promote it more since they bear the brunt of any fraudulent charges. I guess other safety measures take precedence.

This is the first time I have even heard of this service. It would figure that the banks offer this, but do not advertise it. I sometimes wonder if they have our interests in mind, or theirs.
