How to Get a Wells Fargo Active Cash Virtual Credit Card
- Log in to your account on the Wells Fargo mobile app.
- Select “Menu” in the bottom right corner.

Wells Fargo will generate a virtual credit card number when you pay with your Wells Fargo Active Cash through an eligible digital wallet. The Wells Fargo Active Cash virtual credit card information is tied to your credit card, but is not the same as your actual card number. This way, hackers who get ahold of the merchant’s records won’t be able to see your real card information. Virtual credit card numbers therefore help prevent fraud by adding an extra layer of protection to your credit card purchases.
In addition to digital wallet options, Wells Fargo Active Cash cardholders can also get a virtual card number through Click to Pay, which was released by Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express in 2019. The Click to Pay logo looks like a square with two arrows pointing to the right, and you’ll be able to create an account and add your Wells Fargo Active Cash card if you click on the logo when you check out with participating merchants.
