Apply for the Apple Card

The Apple Card is one of the better bank-style implementations of virtual card numbers. You get a separate virtual card number, and with Advanced Fraud Protection enabled, the security code can rotate—something the industry should’ve moved to years ago.

Pros

+Separate virtual card number from the Apple Pay tokenized number
+Rotating security code with Advanced Fraud Protection
+Works naturally with tap-to-pay via Apple Pay

Cons

-Less granular control than dedicated virtual card services
-Apple ecosystem dependent for the best experience
