Where Credit's Due Ep.13: The growing popularity of virtual credit cards, with Deserve and M1




Tearsheet Podcast: Exploring Financial Services Together show

Summary: The growth of digital banking has also welcomed the emergence of virtual cards. Virtual cards exist only in digital form, in a digital wallet. Say bye to plastic and hello to code. This is a big reason why virtual cards are increasing in popularity – they offer more robust security measures, making it harder for hackers and fraudsters to skirt the system. There's also very compelling business use cases for virtual cards. Corporate expense management might be moving from tediously having to submit all that boring info about that client lunch to just tapping a virtual corporate card with a smartphone. Some have even called this a revolution in business expense management – no more boring time consuming software, now a company can issue however many corporate cards it wants and each card can have its own restrictions. I'm talking about all of this today with my guests Kalpesh Kapadia, CEO at Deserve, a credit-card-as-a-service provider, and Brian Barnes, CEO at personal finance platform M1.
