FNB announced that its virtual card service will now be available to all retail and business customers using the FNB or RMB Private Bank apps. “Customers can immediately upload the virtual card to their FNB and/or RMB Private Bank profile and link it to a debit, credit or merge account at no additional cost to make purchases safely and conveniently,” FNB said. . The feature is free on the mobile app for iOS and Android users. There is also the possibility of creating several free virtual cards for each transactional account. Customers will now have a greater choice of secure payment options when shopping online, said Raj Makanjee, director of FNB Payments. "Clear differences in security and world-class convenience make our virtual card a preferable transaction method for customers to better manage their money." One of the goals is to reduce customers' dependency on cash. FNB customers will be able to load their cards on websites, apps and handheld devices for contactless transactions. Plans are underway to ensure virtual bank cards support "Tap and Pay" digital wallets. "These include, but are not limited to, FNB Pay and Samsung Pay, ensuring our customers have a full digital experience," the bank said.
