Can I trust virtual assistant with credit card info?

[Jonathan Farber]

Hey all, like many people here, I am looking to delegate/automate some tasks through the help of virtual assistants.  Through sites like Freelancer and UPwork, I have found great help for about 20 projects.  Things like research, organizing data, Etc.  At this point, I am looking for help on projects that may require some of my financial information.  Is there a way to securely do this that people with experience can recommend? 

I have heard some recommendations for separate accounts, credit cards, or debit cards just for this use.  Thanks all for any feedback!

@Jonathan Farber - morning!

For project based VA work (short term) - I wouldn't recommend giving your permanent credit card. If it would simplify your job, then create a sub-user for your business credit card and give them that cc number. That way, if you need to cancel you can & you can set spending restrictions on it if you choose.

For long-term VA service - I give my cc info to them all day long. They run my entire business, but I've also worked with them for years and would trust them with my children.
