Its July 24, 2025 guide describes a digital card holding a funded amount rather than a line of credit. Recipients receive card details, including a number, expiry date and security code. Those details support eligible online purchases, with in-store mobile-wallet use available where the card program supports it. The company presents general-purpose prepaid cards as a way to offer spending choice beyond one retailer’s gift card. For a business distributing rewards, that changes the selection from a particular product or store to a usable prepaid balance. For administration, the guide discusses choosing funded values, program controls, expiry terms and branding. It also describes issuing, customizing and tracking payouts through Runa’s platform. Runa promotes the format for gig earnings and other high-volume disbursements, where access and delivery matter to recipients. Availability, wallet support and permitted transactions depend on the specific program; the article’s broad marketing claims should not be read as identical functionality across all virtual prepaid cards. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [Virtual Prepaid Cards: The untapped powerhouse for B2C payouts](https://runa.io/blog/virtual-prepaid-cards-b2c-payouts?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news) — runa.io ## In this article ### Companies * [Runa](https://giftcard.news/company/runa/) Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fvirtual-prepaid-cards-become-popular-choice-for-b2c-payouts-a9fa094c7d41%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=Runa%20Sets%20Out%20Virtual%20Prepaid%20Card%20Uses%20for%20B2C%20Payouts "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fvirtual-prepaid-cards-become-popular-choice-for-b2c-payouts-a9fa094c7d41%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=Runa%20Sets%20Out%20Virtual%20Prepaid%20Card%20Uses%20for%20B2C%20Payouts%20https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Fvirtual-prepaid-cards-become-popular-choice-for-b2c-payouts-a9fa094c7d41%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Daniel Brooks](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/daniel-brooks-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Daniel Brooks](https://giftcard.news/author/daniel-brooks/) Journalist — Payments, Security & PCI DSS Daniel Brooks covers payment networks, financial technology, payment security, gift card fraud and PCI DSS for Gift Card News.
