I run ads across Google, Meta, and TikTok for multiple clients through my personal card. When my card was hacked, the bank paused my account and all my client's campaigns got paused as well. It was a nightmare. Now every client and campaign has its own virtual card with its own limit. Total separation and total peace of mind.

Why media buyers choose Halocard for ad spend

Visa credit card

Credit cards beat debit cards for ad platforms

Ad platforms like Google Ads and Meta Ads often reject debit and prepaid cards. Halocard issues US-based Visa credit cards with the highest acceptance rates across all major advertising networks.

Campaign budgets

Per-campaign budget isolation

Create a dedicated virtual card for each ad campaign, client, or platform. If one campaign hits its budget, the rest keep running. No more shared payment methods creating a single point of failure.

Real-time alerts

Real-time spend tracking

Get instant notifications every time an ad platform charges your card. Spot budget overruns immediately and freeze the card before costs spiral out of control.

Global access

Available globally, no US residency required

Sign up from 144+ countries with just a passport or national ID. No credit check or US residency needed. Run ads on US platforms from anywhere in the world.
