Not much at all! All Edenred cards are based on Mastercard, so payments with the card can be conveniently made using Apple Pay or Google Pay, for example.
Physical card is sent to the beneficiary by post, and activation occurs using the serial number found on the back of the card. This Mastercard-based payment card allows for contactless payments, online purchases with approved service providers, and can be added to Apple Pay and Google Wallet. The card also supports Edenred Pay mobile payments made through the Edenred app, and its information can be found on the card as well as in the Edenred app after activation.
Virtual card is also Mastercard-based but is not a physical card. It is activated using a serial number received via email and is available for online payments with approved service providers, as well as for Apple Pay, Google Wallet, and Edenred Pay mobile payments. The card information can be found only in the Edenred app.
