Method and apparatus for activating virtual card

An apparatus for activating a virtual card which is applied in a terminal, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• display an interface for selecting a virtual card to be activated upon receiving an instruction for displaying the interface, wherein the interface for selecting the virtual card to be activated is configured to display at least two types of virtual cards in one or more pre-determined formats;
• determine a target virtual card wherein the target virtual card is the virtual card selected in the interface for selecting the virtual card to be activated;
• acquire information to be authenticated when the target virtual card requires authentication, and activate the target virtual card when the authentication is passed;
• and
• directly activate the target virtual card when the target virtual card does not require the authentication.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, executable by a processor in an apparatus for activating a virtual card in a terminal, cause the processor to perform:

• displaying an interface for selecting a virtual card to be activated upon receiving an instruction for displaying the interface, wherein the interface for selecting the virtual card to be activated is configured to display at least two types of virtual cards;
• determining a target virtual card wherein the target virtual card is the virtual card selected in the interface for selecting the virtual card to be activated;
• acquiring information to be authenticated when the target virtual card requires authentication, and activating the target virtual card when the authentication is passed;
• and
• directly activating the target virtual card when the target virtual card does not require the authentication.
