BDO, AMEX to launch online shopping card

American Express and BDO Unibank Inc. are launching the BDO American Express Virtual Card as more consumers shop online for everything, from food delivery to groceries and entertainment.

Linked to the card member’s primary card, the virtual card comes with its own credit card number and offers adjustable credit limit, which gives greater control over online spending and offers an additional layer of account information security. Card members will continue to enjoy the same benefits on their primary card when they use the new Virtual Card to shop online.

“With the BDO American Express Virtual Card, we are offering our card members a product that addresses their reservations about online credit card payments and gives them the assurance they can shop online confidently,” said Nannette Regala, BDO senior vice president and consumer banking marketing head.

Leveraging the exponential growth of e-commerce, the BDO American Express Virtual Card is a timely addition to the diverse range of card products offered by BDO and American Express.
