What's the difference between virtual and contactless Pockit cards?

A virtual Pockit card (Mastercard®) can be used to make online payments. It can also be added to Apple Pay or Google Pay, which can then be used to make in-store payments. A virtual card cannot be used to make ATM withdrawals or in-store payments (without having added it to Apple Pay or Google Pay).

A physical Pockit card (Mastercard®) is a printed card that has the benefits of a typical payment card, including in-store payments, online payments, and ATM (cash) withdrawals. Physical cards can also be added to Google Pay or Apple Pay within the app.

You don't need a Pockit card to make use of PayPoint's services.
