## What is a virtual card?

A virtual card is a unique 16-digit card number that’s digitally-generated and tied to your account. You can use a virtual card for vendors and online payments. They keep your real card number protected, and put you in control.

## Virtual cards are free to create and easy to use

### Set up in just a few clicks (literally)

### Define spending limits and freeze cards

### Pay with a unique card for every vendor

## Coordinate your operating expenses

Never overpay a vendor again. Create a unique virtual card for each vendor and set hard spending limits. Card limits reset when you want them to so you don’t miss vendor payments—and you won’t get charged extra.

## Get visibility into every online purchase

The BILL Spend & Expense platform shows you every time an employee swipes their card—and this includes online spend. No more printing out digital receipts or filing an expense report for every recurring payment. With virtual cards, you get real-time visibility into every transaction.

## Prevent fraud with virtual card controls

BILL Spend & Expense virtual cards help protect you from vendor overcharges and compromised accounts. The old way involved paying hundreds of vendors with a single corporate card, leaving your business constantly at risk. Now, you can use a unique card for every vendor with controls that you assign.

## The BILL Spend & Expense Chrome extension

Physical cards, virtual cards, contactless payment options, and BILL’s Chrome extension make spending with BILL a breeze, no matter how you’re spending or where you are.
