### Overview

Extend gives you the ability to create virtual credit cards for anyone who needs to charge a business expense including team members, contractors, vendors, or yourself.

### What is a virtual card?

A virtual card is a unique digital card number with a defined spending limit and expiration date that is associated with your existing Corporate or Commercial Card.

### Ways to use virtual cards

You can use a virtual card just like you would a physical credit card for purchases on expenses like travel bookings and in-store or online shopping.

- Add virtual to your ApplePay or Google Pay Wallets for tap-and-go purchases
- Track spending by creating different cards for different projects or expense categories
- Control vendor payments and manage recurring expenses and subscriptions by leaving a virtual card on file
- Automate reconciliation with expense category tags to simplify bookkeeping.
