Virtual Card Services was established in 1996 to offer a solution to the mail order market which found conventional methods of securing large volumes of credit card payment cumbersome and costly.

With more than 50 years' collective experience in developing and implementing credit, debit and smartcard processing systems for all of the major card issuers in South Africa, Virtual Card Services was quick to identify the niche presented in providing a solution which exactly meets these needs.

The 'Virtual Vendor' system which was developed out of this need interacts with a bank's existing legacy system's, while meeting the vendor's increasing demands for automated, electronic transaction systems. The business rapidly grew from this point by expanding the scope of services to all organizations requiring automated, high volume and Secure Credit Card Payment Processing. The company's client list today boasts a cross-section of businesses who have realized the benefits of automating their credit card transactions.
