Virtual card, physical card, what are the differences?
Updated over a year ago

A physical card is a recycled PVC card that you receive directly in your mailbox. You can order it straight from your Edenred+ app. Delivery takes between 5-10 working days.

A virtual card works exactly like a physical card. It is simply stored in your electronic wallet (called the wallet) on your smartphone instead of your physical wallet.

Here are 5 reasons why we recommend you choose a virtual card:

  • You can activate it straight away, as soon as you log in for the first time on the Edenred+ app.

  • 🌳 You choose a plastic-free alternative, more environmentally friendly.

  • 🏠 You leave your purse at home and only take your phone.

  • 🧑‍💻 Payment online is 100% secure, just like using a physical card.

  • 📱 You can pay for your in-store purchases contactless, with no need for a PIN!
