Prevent Unwanted Subscription Payments With Privacy Virtual Cards

You can connect your bank account or debit card with Privacy and sign up for your favorite subscription services, such as Paramount Plus, Xbox Game Pass, ESPN Plus, or Apple Music. 

With Privacy, you can create two types of cards:

• Single-Use Cards—They close automatically soon after the first transaction is finalized and are perfect for paying on websites you're visiting for the first time and don't entirely trust.
• Merchant-Locked Cards—These cards "lock" to the first merchant you use them at, which makes them an excellent choice for recurring payments such as subscriptions.
• Category-Locked Cards—They "lock" to a merchant category rather than a single merchant. They are ideal for giving your family members allowances and organizing your finances.

You can take advantage of additional spending controls available for Privacy Cards to manage your subscription payments. If you pause or close your card, you can avoid charges during the cancellation process or after you have already completed all the required steps. The pause and close feature is especially convenient if the service provider makes the subscription difficult to cancel.

Privacy also lets you set spending limits on each card and stop online merchants from charging you more than the agreed amount. Privacy will decline any charges that exceed the preset limit.

Privacy Virtual Cards—Additional Features for Smooth Transactions

Privacy also streamlines online payments via its browser extension, available for Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox. The extension autofills your virtual card numbers at checkout, saving you the time you’d otherwise spend entering the information manually. You can also enjoy seamless checkouts on an iPad or iPhone with the Safari iOS extension. 

Privacy also has a dedicated mobile app, which is available on Android and iOS devices. You can use the app to generate new cards or manage existing ones on the go, as well as receive real-time notifications about your account activity.

Start Using Privacy Virtual Cards in Four Easy Steps

To protect against unexpected subscription payments, start using Privacy by completing a few easy steps:

1. Sign up
2. Provide the information necessary to confirm your identity 
3. Connect your bank account or debit card as a funding source
4. Request and generate your first Privacy Virtual Card
