In order not to have to transfer money from a wallet to a bank card, spending money on forced commissions, it is enough to use a virtual Qiwi Visa Card (QVC), created specifically for such cases. Let's talk about it in more detail.

What is Virtual Qiwi Card?

If the Qiwi wallet itself, like the plastic card issued to it, have become a familiar service for many Internet users, then the QIWI virtual Visa card is used by the minimum number of wallet owners. This is due to a greater extent to the relatively low popularity of online purchases in comparison with more familiar stores with terminals that perfectly accept plastic payments, including those from the Visa QIWI Wallet payment system.

What is QVC for?

The virtual card was specially created for purchases on the Internet, because it performs the functions of a familiar plastic card and is accepted for payment by all Internet resources cooperating with the Visa payment system. Qiwi Visa Card and Qiwi wallet balances are combined, which provides comfort when replenishing the card and simplifies spending control.

The issuer of the virtual card is QIWI Bank, which has all the legal rights to issue such a payment instrument. QVC has all the necessary details for making purchases and payments:

  • 16-digit number;
  • CVV code;
  • validity;
  • Owner's name.

Attention! The QVC currency can only be Russian rubles. It is permissible to make payments up to 40 thousand rubles.

Benefits of QVC Qiwi

The Kiwi virtual card does not have a physical medium, so it does not need to be produced and then wait weeks for delivery. QVC opens automatically at the time of registration of a new user in the Qiwi payment system.

Sometimes it happens that even a virtual payment instrument is attacked by fraudsters, as a result of which the owner has to close it.

Security when paying with a virtual card

Qiwi Virtual Card, or as it is called Qiwi Virtual Card, is designed to improve the security of payment for various purchases and services over the Internet. Many users fear that entering the data of a real card, even if it is not tied directly to his bank accounts, may lead to the theft of funds by hackers.

This is partly true, because there are many malicious programs that use an interface similar to the personal account of Visa Wallet in order to steal an access password or at least payment card data. With the help of the new service, you can drop any fears and freely enter your virtual card details anywhere.

At the first suspicion that the resource is not bona fide, you can delete it and create a new one with unique payment information. This is what makes the Virtual Card different from its plastic counterpart.

The main advantage of the Qiwi Visa Card over a regular “visa” is its multi-level security system. The payment instrument details can be found in only one way - by requesting them in your personal account on the payment system website.

At the same time, only a part of the 16-digit number is sent to the phone in the form of an SMS - the rest of the numbers are indicated in the "Your cards" section.

Moreover, when making a purchase, the user has to specify special codes: a three-digit security code CVV and an authorization code sent by the system when making a payment.
