Need to pay for an international service but your local card isn’t working? EverTry gives you two ways to make supported international payments: a Standard Virtual Card or EverTry One.
The Standard Virtual Card is available on the Visa or Mastercard network. You can fund your wallet with your local currency where supported, while other funding methods, such as USDT, may also be available depending on your location and account.
EverTry also supports other cross-border money needs, including international transfers, currency conversion, and supported digital-asset transactions.
What Is a Virtual Dollar Card?
A virtual dollar card is a digital payment card designed for online transactions. It has details such as a card number, expiry date and CVV that you can use with supported merchants.
Virtual cards are useful for international software, subscriptions, online courses, digital services, advertising platforms and online shopping.
EverTry Virtual Card Options
EverTry has two main virtual card options:
| Card | How it works |
|---|---|
| Standard Virtual Card | Reusable card available on the Visa or Mastercard network |
| EverTry One | Funded once, with a maximum balance of $250 |
The main difference is how you manage the balance. The Standard Virtual Card can be funded again when needed, while EverTry One uses a fixed balance until it is depleted.
Standard Virtual Card
The Standard Virtual Card is the reusable option for supported international payments. It can be issued on the Visa or Mastercard network.
You can use it for eligible services such as:
- Software and productivity tools
- AI and creative platforms
- Online courses
- Streaming services
- Digital advertising
- Cloud services
- Domains and hosting
- International online shopping
This makes it useful for freelancers, developers, creators, students and businesses that regularly pay for international digital services.
EverTry One: Fund Once, Spend the Balance
EverTry One is designed for users who want to set aside a specific amount for supported payments.
You fund it once, with a maximum balance of $250, and can make multiple transactions until the balance is depleted.
For example, a $150 balance could be used for three supported payments of $50, $70 and $30.
You cannot add more money to EverTry One after funding it or withdraw the remaining balance.
What Can You Pay For With an EverTry Virtual Card?
A virtual card can help when you need to pay for an international service or merchant that supports your card and payment method.
Common uses include:
- SaaS and productivity tools
- AI and creative software
- Streaming subscriptions
- Online courses
- Digital advertising
- Cloud services
- Domains and hosting
- International shopping
- App and developer services
For example, freelancers and businesses may need cards for cloud platforms, AI tools, advertising accounts or software subscriptions, while students may need them for courses, exams or application fees.
For shoppers in Nigeria, a virtual dollar card for online purchases can be useful when a local card is not accepted.
More Than Virtual Cards: What Else Can You Do With EverTry?
EverTry is designed for broader cross-border money management, not only card payments.
Depending on your location and account, you can also use EverTry to:
Send money internationally
You can send money to supported destinations from your EverTry wallet. Before confirming a transfer, the available payment details and applicable fees are shown so you can review the transaction.
This can be useful for sending money to family and friends or paying international suppliers, contractors and other recipients.
Convert and hold supported currencies
EverTry lets eligible users manage different supported currencies and digital assets in one place. Available currencies and conversion options depend on your location and account.
Manage supported digital assets
Eligible users can buy, sell, send, receive and hold supported assets such as USDT, USDC and BTC.
If you fund your wallet or card with a digital asset, the available assets and networks depend on your account and location. Always use a network supported for the specific asset you are sending.
Payment links and invoices
Freelancers and businesses can also use payment links and invoices to request payments from clients or customers.
This makes EverTry useful beyond spending: you can use the same app for certain paying, sending and getting-paid workflows.
How to Get a Virtual Card
1. Create an EverTry account
Download the EverTry app or sign up on the web and create your account.
2. Complete required verification
Some features may require verification. Requirements can vary by location and service.
3. Fund your wallet
Fund your wallet using your local currency where supported. Other methods, such as USDT, may also be available depending on your location and account.
You do not need to manually convert your local currency into dollars before funding your wallet.
4. Choose your card
Select the Standard Virtual Card or EverTry One.
5. Fund the card
Follow the funding requirements shown in the app and start using your card for supported payments.
Fund Your Wallet With Your Local Currency
An international payment does not necessarily mean you need to hold USD first.
Where available, you can fund your EverTry wallet using your local currency. The funding methods offered to you depend on your location and account.
Other options, including USDT, may be available for eligible users.
This means you can start with the currency you already have rather than making a separate currency conversion before funding your wallet.
Standard Virtual Card vs EverTry One
| Feature | Standard Virtual Card | EverTry One |
|---|---|---|
| Funding | Reusable | Funded once |
| Card network | Visa or Mastercard | Depends on the card issued |
| Maximum balance | Subject to applicable limits | $250 |
| Multiple transactions | Yes | Yes, until balance is depleted |
| Add funds later | Yes, where supported | No |
| Withdraw remaining balance | Subject to applicable rules | No |
Choose the Standard Virtual Card if you need a reusable card for ongoing payments.
Choose EverTry One if you want to fund a card once and spend a fixed amount.
