Maintain Control of Your Funds With Privacy Virtual Cards
Privacy Virtual Cards protect your financial information in case of a data breach on a merchant’s website. Besides safety, Privacy Cards offer unmatched convenience and control over your spending.
Connect your bank account or debit card and generate Privacy Virtual Cards to use for any subscription service, be it an everyday necessity like Walmart and Verizon, an invaluable work resource like Canva and Grammarly, or an entertainment platform like Paramount Plus and HBO Max.
With Privacy, you have two types of cards at your disposal:
Single-Use Card—This card type becomes invalid shortly after the first transaction is completed. It’s especially helpful when you’re unsure of the merchant’s reliability or don't plan to shop at that particular merchant again.
Merchant-Locked Card—This card type can be used at one merchant only, so it's perfect for recurring payments, such as subscriptions.
Merchant-Locked Cards can be paused or closed with a few clicks and without affecting the connected funding source, allowing you to prevent unwanted charges from subscriptions you no longer need. Privacy will automatically decline all charges on a paused or closed card, allowing you to go through the cancellation process stress-free.
Another useful feature you can set on your Merchant-Locked Cards is spending limits. If a sneaky merchant or subscription service attempts to charge you more than the agreed price, Privacy will block all exceeding charges.
Privacy Virtual Cards—Setup and Cost
Besides protecting you from excessive and unwarranted charges, Privacy allows for smooth transactions and easy card management via the following features:
Privacy browser extension—Available for Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox, the Privacy extension auto-completes virtual card details for you at checkout, so you don’t have to reach for your wallet every time you make a purchase. The Safari extension works with iOS devices as well, offering you a way to check out quickly and seamlessly if you’re an iPhone or iPad user.
Privacy mobile app—The Privacy app for Android and iOS lets you generate and manage your Privacy Cards wherever you are. You can opt to receive a push notification or email each time your virtual card is used, so you can track your account activity in real time.
If you’re ready to take back control over your spending, follow these four simple steps:
Enter the details required to verify your identity
Provide a funding source, such as your debit card or bank account
