Boost Security and Control with Wallester’s Disposable Virtual Cards

Digital fraud, lack of expense control, and slow administrative processes are some of the challenges businesses face in financial management. Wallester Business offers a solution that helps to combat these issues with a new feature: virtual disposable cards designed to enhance security and simplify corporate payment management.

Whether you run a travel agency, manage media buying campaigns, or are paying for a new online service that you’re not 100% sure you trust yet, disposable cards give you greater control and flexibility.

Why Use Disposable Cards?

The main benefit is clear—disposable cards automatically deactivate after meeting specific criteria you can determine in advance. This feature makes them an ideal solution for reducing exposure to fraud or unauthorised use. You may choose between two types of cards: 

  • Single-use cards: These cards are deactivated after one transaction. They are perfect for controlling employee expenses for specific purchases. If a payment is declined, the card stays active until it’s successfully used.
  • Cards with custom expiration dates: These cards remain active until the configured date and can be used multiple times, giving you control over how long they stay functional. The expiry date can be set for up to three years. This is ideal for a media-buying agency that wants to control payments, ensuring cards remain active only during the necessary period of the advertising campaigns on Meta, Google, or TikTok. Custom expiry cards also work with Google and Apple Wallets.

Key Benefits for Businesses

Wallester’s disposable cards improve expense management in several ways.

  • Greater transparency: Every transaction is recorded in real time, facilitating internal audits and fostering trust.
  • Enhanced user experience: Disposable cards are easy to generate from Wallester’s platform whenever you need to handle a payment.
  • Sustainable technology: Though disposable, these cards are 100% virtual, helping reduce the environmental impact associated with plastic.

How To Use Disposable Cards

Designed for specific needs, these cards allow your company to control every transaction precisely. You can bring back peace of mind and flexibility to all areas of your business in many ways.

Advertising Campaign Payments

Agencies and marketing departments can use temporary cards to allocate accurate budgets on platforms like Meta, Google or TikTok. The cards are deactivated once they have served their purpose, avoiding accidental overcharges and ensuring each campaign stays within the defined budget.

Freelancers and Contractors

Companies can issue unique payment cards for freelancers or contractors. These cards, active only until payment is completed, eliminate complex administrative processes while facilitating accounting and accountability.

Online Purchases

Disposable cards offer enhanced security for online shopping. You can use a new card each time you pay, ensuring your main account details remain confidential. Once the transaction is complete, the card cannot be used again, preventing future unauthorised charges.

Shopping at a new online store? Simply use your disposable card to safeguard against fraud and eliminate the risk of unexpected charges.

Project Budget Control 

Companies can assign cards to specific projects. For example, a construction company could use a card to purchase materials, which is automatically deactivated when the budget limit is reached or at the end of the project.

Create Cards Instantly

You can create and manage your cards from the web portal and the mobile app. From there, you can choose between single-use cards or those with a custom expiration date, tailoring them to your exact needs. Another advantage of managing them from the portal is organising and filtering your cards by type, ensuring precise control over each.

To create a disposable card, simply navigate to the Expense Card tab in your dashboard, select Disposable Cards, and then choose the type of card you want (single-use or custom expiry), set up your criteria, and you’re ready to go.

Take control of your payments today with Wallester’s disposable virtual cards. Simplified expense management for your business offers peace of mind, flexibility, and security.
