About Privacy.com: Virtual Cards
Getting started with Privacy is simple: create your account, verify your information, securely link your bank account or debit card, and request your first virtual card. Start shopping and enjoy the added layer of protection Privacy provides to protect you from payment card theft and fraud.
Benefits:
- Shield your true financial information: Our Privacy Cards mask your debit card or bank account number to help protect you from card theft and fraud. Pay with greater privacy and security anytime, anywhere on desktop or on mobile.
- Create merchant-locked and one-time-use cards: Our cards automatically "lock" to the first merchant they are used at, so if the merchant is ever breached, the card number can never be used anywhere else. You can also create one-time-use cards that automatically close after a single transaction.
- Take complete control over your spending: Set customizable spending limits to prevent overcharging and block hidden fees—perfect for managing subscriptions and recurring expenses. If a transaction goes over the limit, we will automatically decline it.
- Leverage real-time transaction monitoring: Receive notifications any time a Privacy Card is used. Easily pause, unpause, and close Privacy Cards any time with just one push of a button.
Privacy’s core product is free to use on domestic transactions, because, like other card companies, we collect transaction fees from merchants. Privacy Cards can be used at most merchants that accept credit and debit cards.
The security of our users’ personal information and data is critical to everything that we do at Privacy. You can review our security policies at https://privacy.com/security.

Very useful
I’ve been using privacy cards for years with burner cards for sites with a set spend limit so when i say i’m spending $55, that’s all that can be charged. Peace of mind from using privacy cards is so relieving to have.

Awesome Service but failing to be real time
So the application is a great use for every day I have more than one bank account linked to it as a source that I can set certain bank accounts for certain cards and uses. I really love this app so much. It’s very convenient and very secure. I don’t mind the concept of ACH. It makes me have more responsibility not to overspend what I have. It makes me check my accounts and be more conscientious the problem I have is how the balance update works, so let’s say I have three dollars in the account and I add another five dollars it takes forever to update and it will still decline me if I try to spend eight dollars it goes by the ledger balance on the bank account and it takes one to for the partner that connects the application securely to your bank to go through, which is called plaid I wish there was a way to manually refresh balances or have them put some type of code and trigger on it when a card is to be used it should refresh the balance this way there’s more accuracy instead of getting unnecessary declined because it didn’t update the balance from the partner or maybe the app should even grant a credit line so that way it can basically allow us to use what is on the account if it’s not showing up to 1 to 3 days it would just pay itself back so those are two ideas. I’m gonna send the information I was able to find about balance refresh and loading for real time. access accessibility to the information so that way there’s no delay. For people living paycheck the paycheck this app would probably not be the best solution for them. and the reason I say is because if you get your paycheck on Wednesday or say even Friday, you have to wait 1 to 3 business days for the ledger balance to reflect on that.
