UK bank which allows virtual cards

Mayhard · #1 09-02-2017

Hello,

I would like to ask UK members here if someone knows some UK banks which issue visa cards and may allow creation of virtual cards.
Please share your experience, thanks!

HSBC used to (it could well be a MasterCard though...)

No idea if they still do or not though!

What is the aim? Are you just trying to get a virtual visa that you can add to an EU PayPal and withdraw to?

Correct.
I need multiple cards as I cannot use the same one for different accounts.

Why not just use the same VISA cards everyone uses for withdrawing from an EU PayPal?

If your not based in the UK itself then it would be hard for you to get a HSBC credit card (which is what used to issue the virtual cards)

What are those cards then?
I have been looking for them and I could not find any decent ones.

I have personal BoS debit card and I had not had any issues withdrawing to it from my main acc until it got limited.

There are loads of virtual VISA cards that people can use

Use google.

Most virtual Visa cards are issues by the same company but there are some other ones out there.

As soon as they are put on the forum they will get abused though so its a lot better to put in a few hours in research and find one that works for your needs

British banks are crap when it comes to offering useful services like VCC, whereas many banks in Europe will offer them. The wavecrest cards are indeed a good option

Why not just use the same VISA card that you have been using? That way you won't need to get a different account again.

I know for a fact that SEB offers a VCC, have not checked if they do multiple ones. If you need to know that I can check. Am not sure if it would work for PP etc either..
