In today’s digital-first world, the way we manage our finances is evolving rapidly. With Alunafi, you get access to both physical and virtual cards—giving you the flexibility to spend your way. But which option suits you best?
Let’s break it down.
What’s a Physical Card?
A physical card is a traditional plastic debit card that you can use in stores, restaurants, ATMs, and anywhere Visa is accepted. With Alunafi, your card is sleek, secure, and connected to your digital wallet.
Best for:
- Everyday purchases
- Travel and ATM withdrawals
- Users who prefer the feel of a real card
What’s a Virtual Card?
A virtual card lives in your Alunafi app. It’s instantly generated and ready to use for online shopping or in-store payments with Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Best for:
- Fast, contactless transactions
- Subscription management
- Safe online shopping
