Get Instant Approval for Your Virtual Card with KOHO - Secure, Convenient

A virtual card is an online card that lives only on your phone. You can access the details through the cards section on the app, or you can add it to the virtual wallet on your phone, like Apple, Samsung, or Google pay. You can start using it once you sign up for KOHO and add money to your account.

KOHO works with only a virtual card, but if you decide to get a physical one too, you won’t need to wait for it to arrive in the mail to start spending.

You can use your virtual card anywhere Mastercard is accepted online, or when you add it to your Google, Apple, or Samsung Pay you can tap it in person anywhere that accepts contactless payments. The only thing you can’t do with your virtual card is withdraw money from an ATM (or hold it in your hand!), you’ll need to order a physical card through the cards section on the app if you want to do this.

It’s super simple — in the cards section on the KOHO app, under your virtual card, you’ll see a button to add it to your wallet. You’ll then be redirected to Google, Apple, or Samsung Pay where you’ll follow a few short steps to get it set up and ready for spending.

You can find more information on how to set it up on each device here.

You sure can. When you sign up for a KOHO account will automatically be issued with a virtual card and be given the option to order a physical one too. Both cards will draw from the same balance but they each have their own unique card number. You’ll see both card details in the cards section of the app.

Making sure your money and information is secure is our top priority. Your account is protected by Face ID, device biometrics, password, or passcode so your card details will be kept safe from prying eyes. You can also lock and unlock your card easily in the app if you think your details have gotten into the wrong hands.

If you opt to get a physical card, this will have a separate card number to your virtual card, adding an extra layer of security. If in the unlikely event one gets compromised and you lock it in the app, you can continue using the other card in the meantime.
