Securing Your Debit or Credit Card

Securing your payment information online has never been more important. As the world becomes increasingly digital, data breaches and payment card fraud can affect anyone — even the most cautious users. The consequences can be severe: monetary losses, hours wasted contacting banks, filing disputes, and the hassle of updating your canceled card details across multiple merchants.

VeilCards helps you avoid all of that by putting privacy and control back in your hands.

Fight Back with VeilCards

Here are a few proven ways to reduce the risk of your payment card information being compromised when shopping online:

  1. Check for Secure Connections (SSL). Always make sure the website you’re using has a secure connection. Look for “https://” at the start of the URL — the “s” stands for secure. If the site only starts with “http://” it may not be protected, leaving your data at risk.

  2. Verify the Domain. Cybercriminals often create lookalike websites such as “wa1mart.com” instead of “walmart.com” to trick users. Even if the site shows as secure, it could still be a fraudulent domain. Double-check that the URL exactly matches the brand you trust before entering payment details.

  3. Avoid Unrealistic Deals. If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. Scam websites often use fake discounts or counterfeit goods to lure shoppers and steal information. Always research unfamiliar sites before making a big purchase.

  4. Use Virtual Cards for Added Security. This is where VeilCards comes in. Our virtual cards create unique, anonymized 16-digit numbers with CVV and expiration date that replace your real debit or credit card online. Each card can be locked to a single merchant, set with custom spend limits, and instantly paused or closed if needed.


With VeilCards, your actual banking details are never shared with merchants. Even if a data breach occurs, your real financial information stays safe. Plus, with features like real-time notifications and global usability, VeilCards give you the highest level of protection and control over your digital payments.

By masking your financial identity and controlling every transaction, VeilCards make securing your debit or credit card simple, powerful, and stress-free.
