What Is the U9 Visa Card?
The U9 Visa Card is a virtual Visa card issued by a third-party card issuer that lets you use U9 for everyday payments. You can shop online, pay for subscriptions, and book travel with merchants that accept Visa. You can also add your U9 Visa Card to Apple Pay or Google Wallet and pay in stores that accept contactless payments.
Here is how it works:
- Top up your U9 Visa Card with U9 from your wallet.
- Pay online or in store wherever Visa is accepted.
- If you need your card balance back, withdraw it to your wallet.
- The U9 Visa Card is currently virtual only. It cannot be used for ATM withdrawals, physical card payments, or transactions that need a PIN.
- Each U9 account can apply for and hold up to 5 U9 Visa Cards.
- Where you can use the card may vary by country or region, merchant type, and the issuer's policies.
Where Can I Use My U9 Visa Card?
You can use your U9 Visa Card on most websites, apps, and in stores that accept Visa, including:
- Online shopping
- Video, cloud, and software subscriptions
- Flights, hotels, and other travel bookings
- App stores, gaming platforms, and advertising
- In-store contactless payments, once the card is added to Apple Pay or Google Wallet
Please note: Whether a payment goes through depends on the merchant's acceptance policy, your billing details, the country or region, and risk controls. Some merchants may not accept virtual, prepaid, or digital asset-related cards.
Does the U9 Visa Card Come as a Physical Card? Can I Use an ATM?
The U9 Visa Card is currently virtual only, so there is nothing to post and no delivery address to enter. A virtual card cannot be used for ATM withdrawals, physical card payments, or transactions that need a PIN.
To pay in stores, add the card to Apple Pay or Google Wallet and use it wherever contactless payments are accepted.
