Virtual Cards

Seems cool, don’t really understand the benefits

Virtual cards are a bit like that! For some people, there is an obvious use case for Virtual Cards. We’ve tried to bundle this into two key value props; security and convenience. Using a virtual that you can immediate cancel after using on an unknown website means if those details get leaked, your account is safe (cc @alexs). In terms of convenience, you can use a virtual card for every transaction that’s not done in-person, so if you lose your new holographic card in the back of a taxi, you don’t need to update it online

I like this idea, not having to worry about updating online sites whenever I get a new physical card is quite appealing.

Having them connected to a pot in the long term though will be far more useful for me, allowing any subscriptions to then come out of that pot.
