Virtual Credit Card (VCC) in Nepal
International Online Payments · Virtual Card · KYC Verification Required
Get access to a Virtual Credit Card (VCC) for supported international online payments through GameShop Nepal.
A VCC provides virtual card details that may be used with compatible websites, subscriptions, software platforms and other online merchants that accept the card network provided.
Before a Virtual Credit Card can be issued or activated, you must complete the card provider's Know Your Customer (KYC) verification.
KYC may require identity information and documents requested directly by the card provider.
GameShop Nepal cannot bypass, skip, fake or complete KYC on your behalf. You must successfully complete verification using your own valid information before the VCC service can be used.
What Is a Virtual Credit Card?
A Virtual Credit Card is a digital payment card that provides card details for supported online transactions without requiring a physical plastic card.
Depending on the provider and selected card, the virtual card may include a card number, expiry date, CVV and associated billing information.
What Can a VCC Be Used For?
A VCC should not be assumed to work on every website.
Some merchants block prepaid cards, virtual cards, certain issuing countries, card BINs or specific payment providers.
Always check whether your intended merchant accepts the applicable card type before purchasing or funding a VCC.
