Protect yourself online with Timon Virtual Cards

These days, it feels like there’s always news of a new data breach somewhere, and what’s worse is that these breaches never seem to stop. At some point, you ask yourself, “Can I shop online and still ensure my personal details are safe?” Well, you can do that, and a great way to do that is by withholding your personal information. With virtual cards, hiding your card details, such as your cell number and email address, is now possible. 

With virtual cards, your information is safe because no business knows about your actual card details. However, you can still carry out transactions normally on your end. The benefits of virtual cards don’t stop here. It gets better. Continue reading as we discuss how Timon virtual cards are a great way to protect yourself online. 

Protective Features Of Timon Virtual Cards

  • Presence of spending limits

There is often a spending cap on virtual cards, and Timon is no exception. This is an additional security measure that lessens the effect of fraud. So, even if a fraudster manages to obtain access to your virtual card, they can only make purchases up to the predetermined limit. 

Let’s say, for instance, you create a virtual dollar card on the Timon app and top it up with $10. If anyone can get your virtual card details, the $10 available on the card is all they can withdraw. 

If you suspect someone can access your virtual card details, you can quickly withdraw all the money from your virtual card without affecting the other ones you’ve created. It’s that simple. 

  • Unique card numbers

A unique number is attached to every virtual card you create on Timon. You can then link this number to a particular place for recurring or one-time payments. Doing this lowers the risk of card theft, cloning, and abuse. This way, too, you can restrict the impact of a compromised virtual card number to that particular transaction or card and easily disable it. 

  • The ability to freeze and unfreeze your cards

You can choose to freeze or unfreeze your card on the Timon app. The money on your virtual card is no longer accessible to anybody who can access your card details after you freeze it. This doesn’t also stop you from spending. Since creating a new card is easy, you can do that in minutes and keep spending. 

  • Easy spotting of unauthorized transactions

Our sophisticated fraud detection tools on Timon don't waste time spotting unauthorized or questionable transactions. So you get an instant alert when there’s any suspicion of fraudulent transactions. 

To Wrap It Up

Fraud and data breaches are common with online transactions. Virtual cards have unique security features to avoid these dangers that help you maintain control and safety over your money and personal information. Protect your money and peace today and create your Timon Virtual Card in no time and without stress.
