What is a One-time card and how does it work?

Our One-time card service is a virtual single-use card to shop at any Visa card-accepting online store.

Each time you use our One-time card service you will receive a unique card number to use in the store's checkout, like any regular credit card. Each One-time card then follows a specific payment plan which you can manage and pay in the app.

Please be aware that an authorisation hold might be placed on your payment card, depending on the payment option you choose, when you use the One-time card service. This ensures that enough funds are available on your credit or debit card for the first instalment.

Good to know: You can only use a One-time card once and, if unused, the card expires after 24 hours. If you want to make another purchase, just create a new card and keep on shopping.

Where can I use the One-time card?

At any Visa card-accepting online store in IE. Just search for your favourite store in the search bar, create a One-time card, and use the card service when you checkout.

How do I pay for the purchases made with the One-time card?

When you create a One-time card it's connected to your personal debit or credit card, according to the payment option you chose. Your first payment is debited 24 hours after the card is created and the following payments are automatically withdrawn according to the payment plan. You can view your plan, pay early and change your connected debit or credit card at any time in the app.
