Virtual Card Number Terms and Conditions

Virtual Card Number Terms and Conditions

Last modified 09/29/2022

This Agreement governs your use of Capital One Virtual Card Numbers and the Capital One Eno Virtual Card Numbers 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 for your Capital One credit card account. We refer to these as “Virtual Card Numbers” or “VCNs.” When you shop online, the Service allows you to create a VCN to give the merchant to pay for your item. This way, you don’t have to give the merchant the number on your actual card (“actual card number”).
    1. Use of VCNs for Transactions. VCNs can be used to make purchases under the terms of your credit card account. You should protect your VCNs like you would protect your actual credit card information. Do not share (e.g., screenshot) your VCNs. 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, which detects when you’re checking out online. It will give you the option to pre-fill a VCN. This makes online checkout easier. It might not catch every check out, so you can also use the extension to manually create a VCN. You can then cut and paste the VCN into the checkout page if needed. To detect when you check out and identify merchants, 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 VCNs 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 VCNs will continue to work.
       
    4. Virtual Card Number “Binding” Pilot. We’re working on a way to “bind” VCNs to a specific merchant. This means a VCN can only be used with one merchant and will be declined if used with different merchants. So a VCN you create to buy a hat from Merchant A will only work there, and not at Merchant B. It may not be possible to create a VCN for every merchant.
       
    5. Managing VCNs. You can manage your VCNs at CapitalOne.com. You may have the option to set spending limits or block future transactions (“lock” or “delete”) on a specific VCN. When you lock a VCN, it will instantly block new purchases using that VCN. Some activities may continue after you lock or delete a VCN. This includes returns, credits, payments, interest, dispute adjustments, other account fees, purchase transactions during system downtime, and certain other transactions. We may offer additional VCN management options. Always review your credit card account statements to ensure that all transactions are correct.
       
    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 can also use biometric fingerprint or retina scans. 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 a webpage is infected by a virus or malware, your VCN 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 VCNs. They could then use the VCNs 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. Capital One reserves the right to deactivate a VCN at any time if we believe the security of your device has been compromised.
       
    7. Limitations on Use. Your use of VCNs 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 VCNs or some or all of the VCN features without prior notice to you. We may also decline to process a transaction using VCNs for risk management purposes.
       
  2. Returns. Keep your merchant receipt in case you want to return a purchase made with a VCN. The merchant will only have the VCN 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 probably won’t work.
     
  3. Use of Merchants and Other Third-Party Websites. Each purchase you make using the Service is a contract between you and the merchant. Their terms and conditions will control that transaction. The Service helps you make purchases more securely using VCNs. But this doesn’t mean that we trust or guarantee anything about any merchant. We can’t guarantee that any merchant is reputable or that the merchant 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 VCN 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 stops working, 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 VCNs; (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:
    1. decompile, reverse engineer, or otherwise access or attempt to access the source code for the Service;
    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;
    4. access Capital One’s services or systems other than as permitted by this Agreement;
