What are the benefits of virtual cards?

Virtual cards were built by Baselane to offer our customers a flexible and secure way to manage their spend and help automate bookkeeping. Read below for the top benefits of virtual cards:

1. Automate Expense Categorization

Make bookkeeping a breeze. Set rules for each card to have all transactions auto-tagged to a property and expense category. 

2. Create Up to 10 Virtual Cards per Checking Account

Use them to manage your spending, create separate cards for different expense types, properties, vendors and more. Please note that you cannot create a virtual debit card for a Savings account. Virtual cards can only be created for Checking accounts.

3. Control Your Spend

Set spending limits, lock, unlock, and close cards any time you want. If the card is locked or the transaction goes over the limit, it will automatically decline the transaction

4. Instant Activation

You don't have to wait for your card to arrive in the mail—start using it from the moment it's created.

5. Unlimited 1% Cash Back

Get the same great rewards that you have with your physical Baselane debit card.

6. Add to Apple Pay and Google Pay

Instantly add Baselane Virtual Cards to Apple Pay and Google Pay, to use anywhere contactless payments are accepted.

7. Better Security

There is no physical card that can be stolen. Instantly lock or close your card details if you think your account has been compromised. Plus, built-in Visa fraud protection.
