With Unzer Financial Services, in addition to the free business account, you also get the option to issue virtual, physical, and single-use credit cards.

As the managing director, you can use these yourself or issue them to employees.

Once you have created an employee, you can assign cards to them.

When creating a card, you first select which type of card is needed.

The card types differ depending on,

  • whether a real plastic card is required (physical card)
  • whether the card is only to be used online or in a wallet on your phone (virtual card), or
  • whether it is intended for a single payment only.

Physical card:
This is a real card you hold in your hand. It's suitable, for example, for business trips, hotels, rental cars, or in-person payments.

Virtual card: This card exists digitally. It's suitable for online payments, software subscriptions, online purchases, or recurring business expenses.

Single-use card: This card is used for only a single payment. It's useful if you don't want to give a merchant permanent card details, or if it's a one-time purchase.

Rule of thumb:

Physical card = pay in person.

Virtual card = pay online in a wallet or on a recurring basis.

Single-use card = securely make exactly one payment.
