Systems and methods for fixed form card to virtual card communication

[0018]As described in more detail below, systems and methods are provided for converting a fixed form card to a virtual card. Further, systems and methods have been developed to increase the security of a virtual card during the assignment of a virtual card from its previous fixed form state, such as a plastic state, in order to reduce the likelihood of fraudulent use of the virtual card.

[0019]As an example and not as a limitation, a virtual card manager may manage a plurality of third party systems, such as third party point of sale systems. Regardless of the type of third party system, the virtual card manager may enable conversion such that users may be able to selectively convert a fixed form plastic card to a virtual card. The virtual card management system may manage the conversion such that the third party system recognizes the converted virtual card as stored value cards in their system. Thus, the virtual card management system enables conversion of fixed form cards to virtual
