Good virtual card service
I was looking for a service to get virtual numbers to protect myself from all the database breaches . I found privacy.com and it does so with a pretty decent free tier(12 cards a month).
Flexible and easy to use
Best way to keep your credit card info safe
Privacy.com has an excellent interface that makes everything easy to use. It's the best way to keep your credit card info safe from sites you don't 100% trust.
I didn't know
I appreciate Privacy's communication and forward-thinking approach to the privacy issue. After using my credit card to buy a pressure washer from an independent retailer, and seeing suggestions from Amazon that same day for pressure washer accessories, I use Privacy now more than ever, and was very excited to see the everywhere card tool.
extremely intrusive company
extremely intrusive company. they always know all of your bank account balances and will yell at you if it gets too low and will even deactivate your account. insane.
Contradictory and Invasive Onboarding Process
The premise of creating burner cards for online purchases to protect my main identity and account is fantastic. However, the onboarding process is so shockingly invasive that it completely undermines its core value proposition.
To verify my identity, they demanded a photo of my government-issued ID and the last four digits of my Social Security Number. This is more information than many major banks require to open a full-checking account!
The irony is painful. My whole purpose was to limit the exposure of my personal and financial data online. By forcing me to provide my most sensitive details to a fintech company that is "not a bank," they are asking me to take on a significant risk before I even get to use their service. The security benefit is negated by the privacy cost. I'm closing my account before it even began. Huge disappointment.
I'm sure hackers are foaming at the mouth to hack this site - I will be very vulnerable. My advice just is to buy Pre Paid Credit Card for small fee.
Excellent option for temporary cards
This has saved me from so much headache with difficult to contact companies. I just pause, cancel, or reduce the limit to my card and we are good to go. Eventually, the company will realize and stop whatever they were providing you. Great way to manage your finances with limits.
Easy-to-use and very helpful for online…
Easy-to-use and very helpful for online security.
Very useful and generous
Incredibly useful for preventing fraud and generous with the amount of alias cards they allow you to generate for free.
I can't say enough great things about…
I can't say enough great things about this company, virtual debits cards for anywhere, and noone gets your true information.
Privacy has saved me thousands in fraud transactions
Privacy has really saved my bank account many times. It allows me full control of how a merchant transacts with my account. Let's face it, not every retailer/merchant is honest. Not every merchant/retailer has the security needed to protect your private details. Privacy gives you that control. I'm super grateful for them. I don't even want to think about the amount of fraud that would have hit my account if I did not use them for my daily life. Thanks Privacy!
I recommend it to all my friends
I recommend it to all my friends. I have been using Privacy for many months now and it is my go-to service that makes me feel comfortable about shopping online, signing up for services, and putting my card down places.
A Great Service that's a Pleasure to Use!
Not only does Privacy.com provide a very valuable service, but they also provide a very well-designed user interface that makes transactions a breeze. The tool is so easy to use, I'd like to think this is how I would've designed it myself. Intuitive, aesthetically appealing, and a pleasure to use.
The concept is great
The concept is great, and when I am able to use these virtual cards, I have no issues. However, yesterday I learned that there are some online merchants who will not take payments from a privacy.com card. This makes no sense. They are Mastercards. The funds are there from my own bank account. It doesn't really seem very private if merchants can tell the card is virtual. I am super frustrated by this.
Love this service! Don't put off signing up!
Love this service! Trying to tell everyone! Its a must for online shopping. Love the Everywhere Privacy card for Apple and Google Pay too. Excellent support.
I am comfortable using Privacy.
I am comfortable using Privacy instead of using my bank card to make purchases online. I have the ability to limit my monthly purchase amount and can stop the card at anytime. With all the computer hacks happening in our current society, Privacy gives me the assurance that this will not happen through their service.
Fraud is nearly eliminated
They provide a service that removes 95 percent of the chance of credit card fraud. We’ve not had a single instance since using privacy regularly and consistently. Totally worth it!
Safety Online Shopping
Privacy has changed the way I spend money online. I cannot express how much safer it has made my shopping online experience. Thank you for giving me back control of my online shopping experience!
I've filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau due to Privacy.com's lack of customer support.
I've filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau about their conduct. I've found their treatment of PRO subscription customers, appalling.
They are holding over $700 worth of refund payments i SHOULD have received from amazon from returning products - BUT NO! They frozen my account over a duplicate payment they got from a vendor whom i already paid....I tried to do as "Shawn" from support@privacy . com told me to do, which was to add a new payment source to clear the "$78 hold", which i did; low and behold, i could not pay that charge, the accounts decided to pause itself and WON'T LET ME PAY TO GET MY OWN MONEY BACK.....Criminal.
I recommend everyone stay far the heck away.
