Secure, Convenient, and Flexible Spending
Facebook Ads is one of the best platforms for building brand awareness and securing valuable conversions. With its global reach and diverse audiences, leveraging Facebook’s powerful advertising capabilities is a wise business decision.
As with all platforms, Facebook Ads has risks, and your online security is essential. Using a prepaid virtual credit card enables you to protect your personal information and control your spending, reducing the risks of exceeding the campaign’s budget.
Discover how a Getsby VCC can revolutionise your FB Ads experience right here.
What is a VCC for Facebook Ads?
The Virtual Card from Getsby is a disposable Mastercard you can easily use to pay for your Ad campaigns. Using our non-reloadable VCC is more secure because you’re using a unique 16-digit number each time, which means cybercriminals won’t be able to access your personal information.
Our prepaid cards are also ideal for controlling spending and reducing the risks of going over budget. If your balance runs out, the platform won’t be able to charge you.

Learn moreThe benefits of using Facebook Ads
PPC is one of the most effective ways to drive website traffic and generate qualified leads for your website.
While Google Ads remains the most popular PPC network, Facebook is second, and Instagram takes third—making Meta one of the best places to reach your marketing goals (Statista).
Here are some key benefits of integrating FB Ads into your marketing campaigns.
Targeting
Even though Facebook has a large reach, you can still use targeting options to ensure the right audiences see your ads. Lookalike audiences, demographics and interest-based targeting are all available.
Cost-effective
The PPC model ensures you only pay when someone clicks on your ad. You can niche down your audience and get the most out of your budget.
Businesses of all sizes use Facebook Ads to reach their target audience, including small businesses and freelancers.
Engagement and conversions
Through FB advertising, marketers and businesses can achieve both immediate and long-term growth objectives, including enhancing brand awareness and increasing website traffic.
The platform can support leads-focused and eCommerce brands, also leading to higher loyalty and retention rates.
Measurable results
Facebook Ads also lets you monitor key metrics, including clicks and conversions. You can use its insights to track each campaign’s performance and make data-driven decisions.
Why use a virtual credit card for Facebook Advertising campaigns?
For Facebook advertisers, virtual credit cards offer several advantages over online card use. Let’s explore them in detail.
Security
When using Ads Manager, you’ll need to enter your payment information to ensure the platform can take money out of your account for each click.
Making online transactions carries multiple security risks, and sharing your credit or debit card details can increase the risk of fraud.
Using a VCC gives you more protection, as they don’t link to your bank account. Opting for a single-load virtual card is the most secure option, but reloadable cards still have advanced protection measures.
Budget management
Managing an advertising campaign can be challenging – even for a highly experienced media buyer. As PPC automatically takes money from your account each time someone clicks on your advert, your total ad spending can creep up quickly.
It’s easy to overspend on a credit card because the money doesn’t go out of your bank account, which means the campaign costs can spiral out of control.
Using a virtual credit card offers more security and peace of mind, as Meta won’t be able to take money from the card unless you have an available balance.
So, even if the campaign spend reaches the card limit, any transactions will automatically decline.
Manage multiple accounts and campaigns
If you’re a freelancer or agency running multiple advertising campaigns for different clients or businesses, using one payment card can result in a lot of confusion.
Virtual credit cards are highly accessible (you can order and activate a Getsby card within a couple of minutes), and you can have a separate payment method for each client/campaign.
Doing this simplifies campaign management and reduces the risks of overspending.
Fraud prevention
Advertising accounts can sometimes fall victim to unauthorised charges or fraud, making the use of business credit cards a risk that many feel isn’t worth taking.
Using a virtual credit card can prevent fraud, as hackers won’t be able to make repeat transactions and can access limited information.
Our cards use MasterCard 3D Secure 2.0 and advanced encryption measures. As they don’t link to your bank account, you can also have peace of mind that hackers won’t be able to access your personal information or make transactions in your name.
Account recovery
Advertisers may have difficulty recovering their payment methods when Facebook suspends or disables an account.
Using a VCC minimises these risks, as generating a new card is easy instead of trying to recover the old one.
Manage your Facebook ads with a Prepaid Debit Mastercard Card
Control how much money a virtual card has on it by choosing a value between € 10 – € 500 for the card. Luckily, it is not possible for a merchant to overcharge you, so you’re protected. Just to be safe, please note that you can suspend a card at any given moment. This gives you complete control in case something happens.
You will receive an access code for your disposable card by email within 2 minutes after your payment has been received. After activation, use your 16-digit Mastercard number to make anonymous online purchases, and be sure your privacy and real credit card number are secure.
