Grey provides Virtual Cards in conjunction with its bank account. You can find frequently asked questions (FAQs) regarding these virtual cards linked here
In the event that you initiate two repeated transactions with insufficient funds using the Grey card, our system will detect and flag your account, resulting in a temporary freeze of the card’s functionality.

Please be aware that if you request a new card subsequent to the termination or deletion of a previous card, a new card creation fee will apply.
