Protect your financial info when making payments
Stop exposing your debit and credit card numbers. Privacy Cards mask your real card info and allow you to pay with an automatically generated, unique 16-digit virtual card number.
Each Privacy Card is generated for and locked to a specific merchant, so the card can't be used elsewhere if stolen, and you can pause, unpause, and close cards at any time.
Monitor and control your expenses
Privacy Virtual Cards give you more control over your corporate expenses with custom limits and settings. You can assign spending limits to prevent overcharging and hidden fees—perfect for managing recurring expenses. If a transaction exceeds the limit, we’ll automatically decline it.
Share secure expense cards with one click
Avoid reimbursing employees altogether. Easily share a secure Privacy Card with your employees to enable your team to make business transactions quickly and easily.
Stay on top of your finances with real-time notifications
Receive a notification via email and our app every time a transaction is made or declined, making it easy to proactively confirm when a payment has been completed.
Ensure you pay vendors on time and catch any suspicious spend immediately. See a charge you don't recognize on your virtual card? Reach out to our expert support team and, in the event of a fraudulent charge, we’ll manage the case on your behalf.
