# Why do I need NUMARQE virtual cards?

## More control and transparency on your spending.

Virtual cards are digital versions of physical cards, with all the card data being accessible on the NUMARQE platform or in your mobile phone wallet via Apple Pay or Google Pay. As they are digital, they cannot be lost, scratched or damaged in any way.

The NUMARQE virtual cards are free to issue. The advantages of virtual cards are their flexibility - you can instantly issue them and tailor them for specific purchases. By applying NUMARQE’s customisable spend controls, virtual cards are extremely useful for specific use cases. For example, issuing a specific virtual card for spend by a specific department or project, or for purchases at a specific merchant (e.g. software subscription) or for purchases with pre-set time limit or value limit.
