Virtual Card Number Terms and Conditions

Virtual Card Number Terms and Conditions

Last modified 05/07/2024

This Agreement governs your use of Capital One Virtual Cards, the Capital One Eno Virtual Card Numbers Extension, and the Capital One Extension (the “Service”). We refer to Capital One and its affiliates and related entities as “we,” “us” or “our.” This includes Capital One Financial Corporation, Capital One, N.A. and each of their successors, assigns, agents, and representatives. Capital One’s offices are located at 1680 Capital One Drive, McLean, Virginia.

Before using the Service, please read this Agreement. You accept this Agreement by using the Service. If you don’t accept these terms, you may not use the Service.

This Agreement is in addition to other agreements that may apply to you, including your Capital One credit card, checking, savings, and/or auto loan account(s) (“Account” or “Accounts”) agreements and including our Online Banking Terms and Conditions. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and other policies or terms, solely as they apply to the Service this Agreement governs. The terms of this Agreement are not intended to modify any disclosures or other terms that are required by law. Please also visit www.capitalone.com/privacy for information about how Capital One collects, uses, and discloses personal information in connection with the Service.

  1. How It Works. The Service creates unique credit card numbers requested by you for your Capital One credit card account. We refer to these as “Virtual Cards” or “Virtual Card Numbers.” For example, when you shop online, the Service allows you to create a Virtual Card to give the store to pay for your item. This way, you don’t have to give the store the number on your actual card (your “actual card number”). By using the Service, you are requesting Capital One to create one or more Virtual Cards.
    1. Use of VCNs for Transactions. Virtual Cards can be used to make purchases and initiate other transactions under the terms of your credit card account. You should protect your Virtual Cards like you would protect your actual credit card information. Do not share (e.g., screenshot) your Virtual Cards. And don’t allow others to use the Service. 
       
    2. The Capital One Eno Virtual Card Numbers Extension. You can download the Capital One Eno Virtual Card Numbers Extension (also referred to as the Capital One Extension), which detects when you’re checking out online. It will give you the option to pre-fill a Virtual Card. This makes online checkout easier. It might not catch every check out, so you can also use the extension to manually create a Virtual Card. You can then cut and paste the Virtual Card into the checkout page if needed. To detect when you check out and identify stores, the extension transmits to Capital One the URLs of the websites you visit that (1) appear to have checkout pages; and/or (2) you are visiting when you use the extension. We use this information to deliver security features and to help improve our service. We will not use it to market other products or services to you.
       
    3. Repeat Usage/Recurring Transactions. You can use Virtual Cards multiple times (like for recurring or repeat charges). If you lose your actual card or it expires, and we send you a card with a new number, your Virtual Cards will continue to work.
       
    4. Virtual Card Number “Binding”. You may have the option to “bind” certain Virtual Cards to a specific store. This means a Virtual Card can only be used with one store and will be declined if used with different stores. So a Virtual Cardyou create to buy a hat from Store A will only work there, and not at Store B. Virtual Card binding may not work properly every time, and it may not be possible to create a Virtual Card for every store. 
       
    5. Managing Virtual Cards. You can manage your Virtual Cards at CapitalOne.com. You may have the option to set spending limits or block future transactions (“lock” or “delete”) on a specific Virtual Card. Some activities may continue after you lock or delete a Virtual Card. This includes returns, credits, payments, interest, dispute adjustments, other account fees, purchase transactions during system downtime, and certain other transactions. We may offer additional Virtual Card management options, such as one-time use Virtual Cards. Always review your credit card account statements to ensure that all transactions are correct. Transactions made using Virtual Cards will be reflected on your credit card statement just like any other transactions made using your actual card number.
       
    6. Security & Confidentiality of Access Information. The Service is only as secure as the device you use to access it. You should protect any device used for the Service using a unique, secret password, PIN, or pattern. You may also use a biometric identifier to protect your device, such as fingerprint or facial recognition. We can’t control the security of your device and it is up to you to protect your device from unauthorized users and harmful malware. If the device you’re using to access the Service is infected by a virus or malware, your Virtual Card(s) could be exposed. You are responsible for keeping your Capital One username and password safe. You are also responsible for use of the Service with your username and password. This includes activities of others using your account or device. While we use security protocols to detect fraud, we can’t catch everything. If someone else has access to your device or your Capital One log-in information, they could use the Service to generate Virtual Cards. They could then use the Virtual Cards to make purchases. If you share access to your device or your Capital One log-in information, you increase this risk. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of the Service on your account.
       
    7. Limitations on Use. Your use of Virtual Cards may be subject to limitations. These may include limits on the dollar amount or number of transactions in a specific time period. We also reserve the right to restrict your access to Virtual Cards or some or all of the Virtual Card features without prior notice to you. We may decline to process a transaction using a Virtual Card or deactivate a Virtual Card for risk management purposes. We may impose limitations without prior notice to you.
       
  2. Returns. Keep your store receipt in case you want to return a purchase made with a Virtual Card. The store will only have the Virtual Card you used to make the purchase. It will not have your actual card number. So if you try to return a purchase using your actual card number, it might not work.
     
  3. Use of Stores and Other Third-Party Websites. Each purchase you make using the Service is a contract between you and the store. Their terms and conditions will control that transaction. The Service helps you make purchases more securely using Virtual Cards. But this doesn’t mean that we trust or guarantee anything about any store. We can’t guarantee that any store is reputable or that the store will securely process the transaction. 
     
  4. Availability & Bugs. The Service may not be available for all types of credit cards issued by Capital One. For example, some retail partnership cards and cards issued to authorized users may not be eligible. It’s also possible that something might not work correctly or might not work at all. For example, a purchase using a Virtual Card might be declined. Yet the same purchase might be approved if you use your actual card number. By using the Service, you accept that risk. If the Service doesn’t work at any time, you can still try to use your actual card number to make purchases.
     
  5. Hardware and Other Requirements. To use the Service, you must (1) have an active credit card account that’s eligible for Virtual Cards; (2) be enrolled in Capital One Online Banking with your credit card account; (3) be 18 years of age or older; and (4) be a legal resident of the United States. The Service may require periodic updates, as well as updates to the device that it’s running on (for security or other reasons, like a fix or browser upgrade).
     
  6. Use in U.S. Only. The Service is for use in the United States and not in any other country or jurisdiction where its use would be contrary to law or regulation. You are responsible for ensuring use of the Service complies with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. For example, you may not use the Service if you are in any country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, sanctions, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country.
     
  7. Stuff You Can’t Do. You agree not to use the Service for anything other than making authorized transactions. For example, you won’t:

    2. use any automated system (e.g., robot, bot, screenscraper) to access the Service;
    3. use the Service in a destructive way, such as transmitting viruses or exploiting bugs;
