The co-branded credit card will initially be available to official Manchester United Supporters’ Clubs and will eventually be extended to all US fans. The co-branded credit card and accompanying mobile app provide instant access to a virtual card number and mobile wallet card upon account approval, as well as an innovative numberless physical credit card for enhanced security and top-class fraud protections.
