Follow the guide below to create Aspire virtual cards.
Which countries can request virtual cards?
We can only provide virtual cards to companies incorporated in Singapore, Indonesia, and Hong Kong*.

Creating a Virtual Card
Admin users have the ability to create their own cards without any approval needed.
On the other hand, Finance and Employee users must obtain approval from the Admin/Budget Owner before their card is created.
Note: Only users assigned to the card can view the card details.
