Onlinekortti

Onlinekortti is a Finnish term that translates to "online card" or "digital card" in English. It generally refers to any form of identification, payment, or access credential that exists and is used in a digital format rather than as a physical object.

The concept of an onlinekortti encompasses a wide range of applications. In the context of payments, it can refer to a virtual credit or debit card, often generated by a bank or payment service. These virtual cards are typically linked to a user's existing account and can be used for online purchases, providing an extra layer of security as they may have unique card numbers, expiry dates, and CVV codes that differ from the physical card.

Beyond payments, onlinekortti can also describe digital identification. This might include student cards, employee badges, or even government-issued identification that can be stored and presented on a smartphone or other digital device. Access control systems can utilize these digital cards for entry into buildings or for authenticating users to online services. The use of onlinekortti aims to increase convenience and security by reducing the need to carry multiple physical cards and by enabling features like remote management and revocation of access.
