Try the FNB Virtual card solution. I have had some bad luck in the past concerning my bank cards. Miss placing them or 8/10 times bank teller machine just swallows it. With all the hassle that it takes to get a new one, so I thought why not give the new FNB virtual Card a try.

It sounded pretty neat using the same functions as a normal credit or debit card, just without the card. This was the main reason why I thought I should give it a shot.

It was a very easy signup process, it all done from the FNB app.

Your FNB virtual card is not a duplicate of your physical debit card and has a different number and CVV (The CVV also changes every hour). The card works just like a normal card it lets you pay online and via the app without having to give your actual credit or debit card details.

Once I activated my card I set it up as my only payment method for a few of my subscription apps and it worked perfectly.

Next up was to test in in an actual store. I popped into our local shop to pick up some bread and milk. But this time instead of pulling out my card. I just simply login in to the FNB app and tapped my phone boom payment made.

Now I don’t need to get a 2nd card for my wife 😊

 

Until next time.
