Square's 'Cash Virtual Card' Now Works With Apple Pay

[MacRumors]

In September Square introduced the "Cash Virtual Card," letting users of the Square Cash app create a virtual Visa debit card that allows them spend their Square Cash anywhere Visa is accepted online. Today at the Code Conference in San Francisco, CEO Jack Dorsey announced that the Virtual Card now works with Apple Pay, reports Recode.

The move gives the Cash Virtual Card a physical presence, allowing users to spend their Square Cash anywhere Apple Pay is accepted. Dorsey said he's been using the Virtual Card as his primary card for the past two months.

Square has steadily been working toward turning Square Cash into a fully fledged payment solution. The service originally started as a peer-to-peer payment system before expanding into online payments with the Virtual Card.

So now you can use a virtual card to pay with a virtual card? Xzibit would be proud.

I guess this would be nice if your primary bank doesn't support Apple Pay, but I'm not really seeing the use case otherwise. Am I missing something?

I still think he looks better without that beard. Either way he's equally hot though.

The operative words here are "anywhere Apple Pay is accepted". Heck, most terminals I see still don't even accept chip card transactions.

And that he's been using it as his primary card for two months says a lot about the diversity of vendors he uses. Lulz

So do you think complaining about almost every single thing Apple does makes better comments?

Nice, unfortunately you're limited to a max of 8 credit/debit cards. Love the idea but I don't want a slot being taken up by a virtual card.

I'm just puzzled, why Xzibit?
