ePay Virtual: How it works

  • ePay Virtual generates a unique 16-digit virtual card number, with associated CVC and validity date, for card-not-present transactions.
  • New unique virtual card numbers are raised for each transaction, supplier or invoice batch as required.

Business benefits

  • Enhanced security of online and card-not-present spend.
  • Greater spend control through predefined rules on what the virtual card can be used for and for how much.
  • Improved data and spend visibility to help develop and negotiate improved prices with a preferred supplier list.
  • Tailored reports integrated with your existing accounting and expense management software systems.
  • Quicker and simpler reconciliation processes for invoice and payments.
  • Available in Sterling, Euro and US Dollar denominations to minimise conversion costs when transacting in those currencies.
