Virtual Card Numbers
Take friction out of the online shopping experience with Virtual Card Numbers.
Customers are going to need to replace their cards, and that can nullify the payment method you have on file. Virtual Numbers can help eliminate that snag with a secure virtual number that's unique to your site.

Activity Logging
When you store or delete a card in your system, that information is reported back to Capital One.
