Why Use a Virtual Card for Netflix®?

While Netflix is a trusted streaming service, using your primary credit card for subscriptions can expose your financial information unnecessarily. Virtual cards provide an extra layer of security and privacy for your streaming entertainment.

Benefits of Using Virtual Cards

  • Complete privacy - Netflix charges never appear on your bank statement
  • Enhanced security with merchant-locked cards
  • Better control over subscription payments
  • Protection against unauthorized charges

Statement Privacy

When using a Halocard virtual card, your bank statement will never show "Netflix" or any streaming-related charges. Instead, you can choose to have "HALOCARD" appear on your statement, or select from neutral descriptors like "PRIVATE", "SECRET", or "GIFT", ensuring complete privacy for your entertainment choices.

Managing Your Netflix Subscription

Subscription Control

  • Manage family member accounts independently
  • Keep business and personal accounts separate

  • Instant card freeze capability
  • Spending limits and controls

Fraud Prevention

Common Questions

Will this affect my current Netflix subscription?

No, changing your payment method to a virtual card won't affect your current subscription, profiles, or viewing history. Your service continues uninterrupted.

What happens if I need to update my plan?

You can change your Netflix plan anytime. Just ensure your virtual card's spending limit covers the new plan cost. The card automatically handles the price difference.

Can I use the same card for other streaming services?

No, your Netflix virtual card is locked to Netflix for enhanced security. Create separate virtual cards for other streaming services to maintain the same level of protection.
