Vantage Markets ("Vantage") is enhancing its V-Card experience, bringing eligible account-linked payment services into everyday life. The card service is part of a broader wallet ecosystem with a reported user base of more than 1.95 million. Building on its May introduction of an industry-first virtual card for CFD traders, Vantage is expanding its range of payment-related services beyond market access.

A convenient payment experience for everyday life

V-Card enables eligible clients to use available funds transferred to their V-Wallet for card-based payments at merchants that accept the relevant card network. Customers can use it for purchases such as travel bookings, online shopping, dining and digital services, subject to activation, eligibility and programme terms.

The offering includes cross-border transaction fees and foreign-exchange conversion rates as specified in the applicable programme terms, with no annual card fee where applicable.

Clients can access card information and management features within the Vantage App. Apple Pay and Google Pay may be available as mobile-payment options where supported by the relevant market, issuer, card network and device. Availability may vary by location and programme.

Card eligibility, identification checks and spending limits are governed by the applicable programme terms and official announcements. V-Card services are available only in supported jurisdictions and are subject to applicable laws, regulatory restrictions, issuer requirements and eligibility criteria.

Connecting convenience and confidence

Vantage works with Thredd as part of its card-service ecosystem. Identity verification, payment authentication and fraud-risk management form part of the service framework, supporting a more connected experience with applicable security measures.

For eligible clients considering a forex card, CFD payment card or premium card for traders, the relevant considerations include merchant acceptance, access to eligible balances, cross-border costs, currency conversion and mobile-wallet compatibility.

V-Card seeks to address these considerations together as Vantage develops a payment experience designed for everyday life beyond trading.
