FAQs
A single-use credit card is a virtual credit card designed for one-time transactions. Each card is generated for a single purchase and is automatically terminated after the first successful transaction. This ensures enhanced security and control over online spending.
A single-use credit card works by providing a unique card number that is valid for only one transaction. Here’s how it functions:
Once a transaction is successfully completed and confirmed, the card is automatically terminated and cannot be used again.
If a transaction is in a pending state, no further transactions can be processed. Any additional attempts will be declined with a specific reason provided.
If a transaction is marked as declined or reversed, or if only a card check is performed, the card remains active. You can make new transactions until a payment is confirmed.
Although the card is terminated after a confirmed transaction, refunds can still be processed within a 3-month period.
This approach ensures that your card details are protected and that each card is used securely for a single transaction.
Using a single-use credit card offers several benefits:
Enhanced Security: Protects your real account details from exposure, reducing the risk of fraud.
Control Over Spending: Ensures that merchants can only charge the card once, preventing unwanted recurring charges.
Convenience: Perfect for large one-time purchases and transactions with unfamiliar merchants.
