How are virtual cards different from procurement cards or single-use account cards?

Procurement cards are usually physical cards that can be used to make business purchases at any merchant who accepts them. Typically, the procurement card number doesn’t change as they're physical cards, though you can work with the card issuers to restrict the type of purchases that can be made on the cards.

Virtual cards differ from procurement cards in that they're digital cards and there are never any physical cards created. Virtual cards can be configured for one use (single-use account), or multiple use. In addition, virtual cards can be restricted to be used only in a certain period, for a particular amount, and at a specific type of merchant. As a result, virtual cards are more secure than procurement cards or single-use account cards.
