Using the Nubank Virtual Card

Nubank offers its customers the option of "Virtual Card", which allows you to use an alternative card to make your purchases or subscriptions online with greater security. The feature generates a numbering different from that available on the day-to-day physical card. The solution is ideal for those who do not want to expose this data online if they are afraid of falling into a coup, fake store or leaking financial information.

The advantage is that the virtual card can be blocked or erased at any time, thus canceling its numbering and future purchases. Here's how to activate it from the official mobile app.

Step 3. To complete the functions, be aware that the virtual card can be blocked if you want to leave it "suspended" for a while. To do this, confirm with "Block". No new purchases will be approved until the card is unlocked. It can still be erased if you no longer need it. Just confirm in "Delete". It is possible to generate another version at any time.
