Which VCC providers are compatible with Pinterest Ads?

Pinterest Ads generally accepts VCCs (Virtual Credit Cards) issued by major payment networks like Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

Expiration: Be mindful of the card expiration dates. If a VCC expires during a campaign, your ads might be paused.

💡 How to Choose the Best VCC Provider for Pinterest Ads?
Ensure the VCC can handle international online payments and recurring charges.

Look for low transaction fees (if that's important for your ad budget).

Check the provider's customer support in case you need assistance with a payment issue during your campaign.

Review the card's security features, especially if you're concerned about fraud or unauthorized charges.
