About this app

Privacy Virtual Cards give you financial security every time you pay online. Mask your real debit or credit card information and protect your online payments from fraud, overcharging, hidden fees, and forgotten subscriptions. Join over 250,000 users who have saved millions by using Privacy Virtual Cards to take control of their spending and improve their payment security.

Getting started with Privacy is simple: create your account, verify your information, securely link your bank account or debit card, and generate your first virtual card in seconds. Start shopping online with confidence and enjoy the extra layer of protection that Privacy provides against card theft and fraud.

How Privacy Virtual Cards Protect You

- Protect your real financial information: Privacy Virtual Cards mask your debit card or bank account details, helping safeguard your financial security from theft, breaches, and fraud.

- Create cards that make safer online payments the default: 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.

- Enjoy advanced payment controls for customized protection: Set custom spending limits to block hidden fees, prevent overcharging, and manage subscriptions. If a charge exceeds your virtual cardโ€™s limit, it will be automatically declined, giving you greater control and financial security.


- Real-time monitoring and control: Get instant notifications whenever a Privacy Virtual Card is used. Easily pause, unpause, or close cards anytime with one tap for ultimate flexibility in managing your online payments.

How Much Does Privacy Cost?

Privacyโ€™s core product is free to use and has no fees for domestic transactions. Like other card companies, we generate revenue from merchant fees. We don't and will never sell our customers' data.

At Privacy, keeping your information secure is our top priority. You can review our security policies at privacy.com/security.

Where Can I Use Privacy?

Privacy Cards can be used online and in person (where contactless payment is accepted) at most merchants that accept credit and debit cards.

The app and service provided works great when it works. When it doesn't, you better buckle up for an experience. Customer support is only available via email, and the responses tend to be repetitive and not ever truly fix the issues. I've been using it for years and I can say they offer a great service BUT I wish they would provide more self-help options on their website for issues instead of the pitiful customer support they offer.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be to contact support for certain issues. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re prioritizing the development of more self-serve solutions for common in-app problems in 2025. We appreciate your patience and hope youโ€™ll stay with us as we work to improve!

Awesome app! Virtual credit cards give me control over merchants. If I'm concerned that I might be charged for a service that I didnโ€™t request or if I'm worried that I'll forget a recurring annual subscription, I just hit the Pause button. No more worries about your actual credit card on file that can be charged whenever the merchant chooses. You are in control!

Never expose your credit card # again. Generate one-time credit card #s or #s that can only be used by 1 store and set spending limits. Now, if the store suffers a breach, the credit card # they get can't be used by anyone else. By setting a spending limit, if a hacker got your account info and tried placing an order on your behalf for an amount higher than you define, then the charge is declined. With the app, you can't also raise and lower that amount quickly. I feel safe shopping online again
