Get Free Virtual Credit Card from Entropay for Shopping Online

Online Shopping is something which is trending hugely these days. Shopping and or making payments online is easy, convenient and can be done from anywhere be it your home or office. The online industry is expected to grow hugely in the future which will bring in more cases of fraudulent use of your credit cards and banking information.

Security is another story we can easily write a book on, but as not everyone is easily offered a credit card by the banks, some users are never able to make payments and do shopping online. If you’re one of the sufferers, you can get a Virtual online Credit Card to shop online. Virtual Cards are also very secure as they are prepaid. Even if your info is compromised, the hacker cannot empty your bank.

Entopay Offers Free and Instant Virtual Credit Cards

Entropay is an online virtual card service which is run by Ixaris Systems, Ltd in association with Visa. The aim of the service was to provide Credit Card access to persons regardless of their location or credit-worthiness. Entropay Prepaid Virtual Credit Cards can be used on any website or service which accepts international Visa cards.

It’s a Credit Card, but doesn’t provide you with Credit

It’s a credit card, so does it provide free Credit? I know you’d be asking the same question. No it does not offer you any sort of credit facility and you can only use as much funds as you deposit in your virtual card account.
So why is it called a credit card?
Just because it can be used on any website which accepts credit cards. We’d have called it a debit card, but because it also works on websites requiring only a credit card, it is indeed a Prepaid Virtual Credit Card.

Loading Up your Virtual Credit Card

Entropay provides two easy ways to load the virtual cards. This can be done either via Bank Transfer (to their Bank Account in London) or through direct debit to your existing and personal Credit/Debit Card. There’s definitely Entopay’s commission and processing fees which will be deducted before the funds are loaded on to your card.

    • Hi, these are not real credit cards. So, you do not get any credit line with these. You need to load them first before using.

  • I don’t get six digit security code for verification of my Sbi debit card on account statement and bank officials have no idea about this. So how can I add my Sbi debit card for entropay vcc top up?

    • Only a few portals will accept international cards. So, you shouldn’t load Entropay if you plan to use it in India.

  • Hello sir can you please help me i use entropay but i dont pay money for google app console by virtual card what can i do??????

  • Hey
    How r u?
    My question is
    Shall i can use this card for betting purpose so that how can i transfer & withdraw money thru Axis bank account..
    Any legal formalities

    Thanks in advance

  • Hi Narender Singh, i cannot top up my account i.e, can’t fund my account. Help me through this. i have karnataka bank visa card of my brother. Can i fund with it

    • If your card is international and international usage is enabled, then you should be able to load up your Entropay 🙂

        • just last question Narender Singh, Can i fund my entropay card with other’s debit/credit Card? Is it possible? If u reply to this comment, it would be helpful to me.

          • Yes you can use any international debit card. But 1 card can only be used in one entropay account. So, if you add it to yours, then it cannot be used to add funds in a different entropay account.

  • I have an Oriental Bank of Commerce VISA Debit card. I tried using it on AliExpress directly, OTP comes, I enter it but transaction fails. I tried getting an entropay card but same problem. Transaction fails when I enter OTP. I’m transacting for $10.

  • Please help me I m using pnb debit card but it’s showing your transaction cannot proceed “a problem with your debit card is preventing us from transferring money into your vcc.please help brother

  • Hi narendra

    I tried with my HDFC and citibank credit card, but the bank does not process it even after correct OTP. Any idea if these banks have blacklisted the site? Also it needs only indian debit card or Indian credit card works (which works internationally otherwise);

    • It is a known issue with Entropay. Sometimes I ended up retrying for 20 times before one was successfully processed. Your card should work when it works internationally, so it isn’t an issue with your card.

      • So you mean the credit card from hdfc should work if it works internationally? cool will try – thought it’s an issue of also using credit card vs debit card

        • Yes, it should work as Entropay supports both Debit and Credit cards. But cards from some banks are harder to use as compared to others. For example, I had better luck loading Entropay with a card from Oriental Bank while the Axis Bank card gave me a headache before it managed to load my Entropay. Not sure why this happens, though 🙂 Good luck!

  • U have mentioned before loading funds entropy would charge certain amount!!!

    Will it charge Amount even during transaction??
    Pls answer!
    I have to pay amount on udemy site!!
    And also wich type of card i should chose on entropy ?

    • Entropay charges its fees when you add money to the card. You don’t encounter additional fees as long the currency you are paying in is same as the currency in your Entropay card.

      • Now one of the site which i want to pay is not accepting ENTROPAY(Not an Indian site->UDEMY.com)

        what to do now. Iam deeply worried and annoyed about it ,Help please

        • Hi Chaitanya, did you try using your Entropay card via their PayPal gateway? It should be accepted by PayPal.

        • And I just tried Entropay card directly only udemy to pay for $12 course and it worked fine. I don’t know why yours is being rejected.

  • Hlo….Narender
    Mention the Names of all Indian international enabled cards which are used to top-up entropay wallet

    • Hey Sheshadev, an International Chip Based debit card from any bank with International Usage enabled should be usable to load Entropay. This is because Entropay has the secondary verification via 3D Code or VBV enabled. So all banks should be okay with processing your Entropay transaction.
      If you have a one-time use, maybe we can find a way out since I have funds in my Entropay. I can generate a card for you and you pay the fees + the required amount to my bank 🙂

      • I need 20$ in my entropay account
        I can pay you equivalent ammout to your account through bank transfer.

        • Not to your account, but I can add to mine and provide you with the card details.
          This is because one credit/debit card can only be linked to one Entropay account. Let me know if you need it 🙂

  • how do i transfer money from my skrill account to entropay account or vice versa. can i fund my ok pay account with entropay

  • Hello,

    I want to add $100 in my entropay account. Earlier i have successfully topup my entropay card with PNB debit card, But now its not working.

    Can somebody help please.

  • Entropay is best virtual card ever as Indian I have faced many problems during transaction using indian debit card but entropay all simple get an international chip debit card load money to entropay ..Link that virtual card to paypal and use in any international merchant websites easily.

  • Dear Narender

    I have an entropay virtual card with $50. Could you please buy it and deposit equivalent amount in my bank account? I am not a frequent international shopping person. Thus don’t know what to do. Also, I tried withdrawing amount to my accoutn, but not successful due to SWIFT code. Please help.

    • If it is only domestic, no you can’t, but if the international usage is only stopped on the card then you can get it enabled and use it to load Entropay.

  • apple store dont accept entropay credit card but on the other hand google play store accept entropay card why anyone know

    • That’s usual with Entropay. Sometimes it really takes like 20+ tries to successfully load money into the account. You can also wait for a while and try again later 🙂

  • I am holding an entropay credit card. Please advice where can I use it in india. I AM SICK OF TRYiNG ALL POSSIBLE WEBSITES

    • Hi Rima. You cannot use it in India since RBI requires all Indian payment gateways to do 3D code authentication (VBV/MSC or OTP) before processing payments. So, that’s not possible.
      Withdrawal fees of Entropay is fixed and it doesn’t change with the amount you are going to withdraw. So, good if you’re withdrawing a high amount say $500. Else, it is rightly too much.
      What we can do here is that I buy that Entropay card from you and pay you in your bank. I am a frequent shopper from international sites so I’ll be able to use for something or the other. Let me know if you want to proceed with this.

        • Since Amazon is an American company and has access to its American payment system, it can process the payments from international cards outside of India. In short, yes you can use the Entropay card on Amazon India 🙂
          Thought you only wanted to withdraw $10. I won’t be in need for $25 anytime soon, so you should just go ahead and spend it on Amazon India. You can even buy Amazon gift card which can be used to shop later, in case you don’t find something to buy 😛

  • I have loaded cash on entropay so many times but dont know how to withdrawal it. if anybody have made withdrawal from entropay please tell me the procedure and how I can take the swift code from bank and which indian shopping site accept entropay card .I m not going ti load cash onentropay until I get all these answers if anybody knows please help me.

      • Give me your entropay balance of 12dollars. i will transfer 12 dollars to ur account through net banking, if provide ur bank ac number and ifsc code. Please help with this, i haven’t fund my entropay for atleast once as my card is not internatonal.

        • But Entropay balance cannot be transferred across accounts. The best he can do is to create a virtual card for you to use.

  • if i will make any transaction at aliexpress website . than i will have to pay transaction charge as well to bank.because i am using india card…

  • I want to upload money on e wallet site like entropay/skrill/neteller accounts please suggest me the Name of the Banks Debit Cards who have supported this sites.
    Am waiting for your suggestion Sir Narender Singh

  • Hi, i am having axis bank’s domestic visa electron debit card with cvv. is it possible to add funds to entropay with this card? banker told it cannot be used outside india. any vcc service providers in india? plz recommend me.

  • I have got $100 reward transfer into entropay account from USP. How I transfer my money from my entropay account to my personal account from dollar to rupees & how I shop online using entropay card.

  • Pardon me for troubling but my card is state bank classic visa international.
    Shouldn’t it be working or is there any sort of activation by calling customer care?

    • State Bank cards don’t generally work on sites without 3D authentication. There was some news in the past about SBI teaming up with PayPal, but IDK if that bore any fruits or not.

  • Since I’m not able to use my SBT Classic debit card to load the entropay card, I’m thinking about using bank transfer to load it. Would like to know your opinion.

    • That will be a lengthy process as you cannot do direct deposit to foreign bank accounts as easily as you do with local. If possible, try using a friend or another family member’s card.

  • hi i have one doubt my branch in india doesnt have swift code but nearer branch of same bank has swift code so what to do if i give swift code of nearer branch will i get deposited to my branch account???? plzzzzz help me

    • Your branch would know which branch they use for processing International Transfers. Contacting somebody knowledgeable would be your best bet.

      • @Narender singh
        Where is the option for withdrawal in entropay? How can I withdraw it to my bank account?
        Did vijaya bank work?

        • In front of the card, there is an option to Transfer Funds. Choose ‘Your personal bank account’, Add/choose the bank account, enter amount and go. I haven’t personally tried, but it should work fine and remited to your bank just as any other International EFT will.

          • Is it have to be the same account, which we deposited?
            or we can use different for withdrawal?
            Whic bank is best for entropy?

            • You can use any account. Just make sure the branch is eligible to receive international EFT and provides you with a SWIFT code.

  • I used my SBI international debit card for loading USD 5.00 on test basis after creating Entropay basic virtual card, and contrary to my bad experiences with SBI cards, entropay card got loaded on first try.. Entropay chrgd 0.25 usd though. Total 5.25 usd debited and usd 5.00 showd up as balance on my virtual card..
    I am wondering whether I can link this virtual card on my paypal account …My SBI credit card got rejected for paypal linkage..I want to use Entropay+ Paypal for international online purchases…

    • For me, Entropay card has always worked with PayPal. So hopefully it will work fine for you as well. However, it is still recommended to use a bank such as Axis if you’re going to make a lot of transactions, the Entropay fees might be too much. But, if you use it occasionally, it should be all okay 🙂 Good Luck!

      • yes this is possible and Axis bank debit card supports Paypal. Paypal gives option to link any visa card to it, there you can link this Entropay virtual card

  • my both cards work fine on international sites, even asked to hdfc cust care if this merchant “entropay” is banned or blacklisted to whioch they replied in negative and still wondering what’s going on, i fear keep trying multiple times would block or lock my card.

    • Trying repeatedly didn’t block my Axis card and neither did it block the Axis card of my friend. It shouldn’t be blocked because you’re not entering invalid info, just the transaction is failing. Really is a hard task sometimes. Dunno why that happens, but probably unavoidable.

  • Whenever I am trying to add funds to the virtual credit card, the transaction is declined by the bank, have used both Citibank & HDFC, they ask for ipin or OTP, when entered correctly it shows message that transaction is declined.

    My account is verified. please help.

    • There’s some issue with them. Using my Axis card takes me like 50 tries to add funds, but using a bank such as Vijaya Bank always took me past in the very first attempt. You just need to keep trying, at least a 15-20 times and you’ll probably be successful.

      • I have try 3 time with Corporation Bank Visa card (it’s visa verified). First time it’s say transaction failed but next 2 time nothing notification me. Now what can I do. Keep try to top up?

        Thanks

  • Your account is not currently set up to allow this function.

    This Problam In My add credit/debit card Plz Help Me Sir

  • hi! i wanted to make an entropay account for aliexpress but there was no option to top up my newly made card with inr! so how will i fill in my money in it? plz help.

    • You can use any international debit card to top up Entropay virtual card. However, you will charged commission by the bank which is about 3.5% for most banks.

    • Most Visa and MasterCard Debit cards issued in India can be used to top up a Virtual Card in entropay. However do note that not all indian shopping sites accept international cards (which entropay is).

  • Please remove such information which is of no worth in Indian context. I am a sufferer. Entropay doesn’t work on any Indian shopping website, not on Google play even. I am stuck with a lot of money in entropay account.

    PS.: The most misleading statement is, “Entropay Prepaid Virtual Credit Cards can be used on any website or service which accepts international Visa cards.” This a a plain HOAX!

    • I just used it on Google Play (an Indian account) and it worked. As about shopping on other Indian websites, they already accept Debit Cards (or net banking), why you ever wanted a virtual card for the same? This post was majorly about shopping at international sites which won’t accept your local Indian card. Lastly, my domain is not a .in domain. That’s a .com which means worldwide applicability, so removing it because it does not work in India is not the right thing to do.

    • Why do you even require entropay for shopping in India? You are the hoax creator. All major online shops in India provide internet banking and cash on delivery. You don’t even need entropay to shop in India. You probably don’t even have a bank account you so called ‘sufferer’.

    • For Abdul Fatir ” I am stuck with a lot of money in entropay account. ” – if you need to withdraw funds from EntroPay – write me.

      • hello with regards your post, as i understand you have some feedback about withdrawing money from entropay. Can you let me in? I would appreciate it

        • Sure. You can withdraw the money to your bank and the process is pretty straightforward. Let me know where you’re stuck and I’ll try to add the needed information.

  • Entropay is not accepted in any of online shopping website india and as of 2011, Entropay has stopped issuing plastic card.. so I believe your article on indian context need to be amended accordingly.

    • But you don’t even need a Credit Card for shopping in India. Net Banking works so cool.. Plus Debit Cards are accepted all over.
      Problem is with international sites which require credit cards.

      • most people in india has debit cards, and international sites require credit card. This entropay works as your credit card and is accepted on internationl sites and even works with google play which never accepts any indian bank debit cards.

    • You are right Sandeep, I tried to do make a payment to paytm with entropay transaction has been declined saying your 3d verification failed
