Privacy Virtual Cards can be used to make purchases in the same way as a physical card, but without the anxiety that comes with giving out your actual card’s information knowing that it’s only a matter of time until the next data breach.
Every virtual card is connected to your bank account but comes with a unique, 16-digit card number, CVV, and expiration. Privacy directly debits your funding source for transactions as you make them.
Privacy Cards come with all kinds of additional protections to help shut down fraudulent transactions before they even happen:
- Pause a virtual card between purchases to make sure fraudulent transactions can’t sneak through.
- Set a spending limit so you can control exactly how much and how frequently a virtual card can be used.
- Close a card and rest easy knowing that even if a fraudster got your Privacy Virtual Card’s information, they couldn’t do anything with it.
- Merchant-Locked Cards lock to the first merchant they are used with to protect your card details from being improperly obtained.
- Category-Locked Cards help you control your spending and are declined at merchants that do not fit into specific categories.
- Create Single-Use Cards cards that close after the first purchase is made, rendering them useless to hackers.
