Root by Sudo introduces digital cards to widen the usage of your card.

So, What’s a Digital Card?

A digital card on Root by Sudo is simply your existing card, whether virtual or physical made usable directly from your phone. Once digitized, your phone becomes your card, giving you the power to pay or withdraw money without needing to carry anything extra. Yeah i know you probably thinking it just like virtual card, but no it not it does more than what virtual card does, and on the other hand, If you’re using a virtual card, it’s perfect for online shopping, international payments, subscriptions like Netflix or Spotify, and anything that doesn't require you to physically tap a card but your digital card can be physical and also virtual. You can also digitize your virtual card and use it to make QR code payments wherever it’s supported, which is a lifesaver.

How Does It Work?

Digitizing your card on Root is seamless. Whether you own a “virtual card” or a “physical card”, Root allows you to add that card to your phone for zero extra cost and here’s where it gets interesting: 

If your phone supports “NFC” (Near Field Communication), you can simply tap it on any “NFC-enabled POS machine” to pay or withdraw cash just like you would with a physical card and If your phone doesn’t support NFC, no worries, you can still make payments by scanning “QR codes”. Root makes sure no one is left out. That means your phone becomes your card.

No plastic. No wallet. No “I forgot my card at home.” Just your phone and you're good to go.

Why Digitize Your Card?

First, it removes the physical stress. Whether you forgot your card, don’t want to carry a wallet, or just love the idea of doing everything from your phone Root’s digital card feature has you covered.

Second, it gives you “instant access” to your money. You can pay or withdraw anytime, anywhere, no need to wait, no extra fees, and no long story.

Third, it expands the usefulness of your card. Your digital card works for “NFC tap payments”, “POS withdrawals”, and “QR code scanning”, depending on your device. That’s more flexibility than a regular card can give. And let’s not forget: “digitizing your card on Root is absolutely free.” No hidden charges, no subscription, just full access, anytime you need it.

Root by Sudo’s digital card gives you the power to pay, withdraw, and manage your finances directly from your phone, whether you’re using a virtual or physical card.
