Cardtonic has introduced a tokenized, NFC-enabled Platinum virtual card. This card allows users to make both online and in-store tap-to-pay transactions. Via Apple Pay or Google Pay, bridging the gap between virtual cards and everyday physical spending.
Cardtonic, a leading provider of virtual dollar cards, has launched a new feature allowing users to create a Platinum virtual card.
This innovative card is tokenized and equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology.
In simple terms, the Cardtonic Platinum virtual card offers users a faster and safer way to make payments both online and in physical stores. To use it, you simply hold your device near a Point of Sale (POS) terminal.
The introduction of this card goes beyond offering a sleek new payment option. It bridges the gap between virtual cards and real-world spending. Thereby, enabling users to make payments not just online or in apps but also in physical stores.
Why Choose Platinum Cards Over Regular Virtual Cards?
While regular virtual dollar cards have made payments more convenient—especially in countries like Nigeria and Ghana. They also don’t fully meet the needs of everyday users.
For instance, many people need to pay for international services like Spotify subscriptions online, while also making physical payments for groceries and other items in brick-and-mortar stores. This often requires juggling multiple cards for different types of transactions.
The Cardtonic Platinum virtual card solves this problem. It allows users to make both online and physical payments effortlessly. Payments can be made in USD or the local currency, such as Naira. For example, you can fund your Platinum card in Naira and use it to pay in either Naira or USD.

Creating a Cardtonic Platinum virtual card is simple:
- Open the Cardtonic app or visit the website.
- Generate a Mastercard or Visa Platinum card for just $5.
- Add the card to Apple Pay or Google Pay.
