Recently I just hit by stolen card detail and makes me searching a virtual card service. Anyone knows any works in the UK and EU region? Apparently Privacy.com needs SSN to work now. Thanks.
I would love to hear about an alternative for Canada as well. By my own research, there are none, but I would like to be wrong
KOHO has a single virtual card that can be reset… but it would reset everything being billed to that card ofc so not quite 1-1 with privacy.com’s per-service virtual cards.
That being said, my koho card was also compromised and their chat wouldn’t let me dispute the transaction or talk to a human for another 3 days after the fact so I just closed it down.
Revolut
Revolut was mentioned before, but let me elaborate on it.
They are essentially a bank but you can open an account through their app with the needed IDs.
You load money onto your account via a card payment from a conventional bank account, so no transfer fees apply in that sense.
They have one time use virtual cards and free persistent virtual cards. You can order physical ones if you want. You can set limits and recurring transactions per card. It even recognizes subscripition services and lets you know in advance if you need to top up the account before a payment is due.
Caveat: ads for their own services to buy crypto, gold, stocks and crap. I personally wouldn’t keep huge sums on my account, but know people who use it extensively. Even after years of usage, they werent burnt yet.
I have no experience with customer service, as I only use it for what you are looking for. According to the internet, their CS can be abysmal.
Can Revolut do per service as Privacy.com?
I know this is a late reply, but I didn’t notice the notification. Sorry about that. What I do is, I open a free virtual card for each service. I have one for netflix, one for spotify and so on. I set the monthly spending limit just above of what they cost.
This way if I ever unsub, I can delete the card and they can’t charge me, or if they have a data leak, they only stole my deleted cards.
Great. Seems Revolut is the choice then. Thanks for the recommendation!
Wise also has virtual visa cards you can generate and delete. Great for not being victim to leaks
I’m using wise now but all 3 quota are used for various places already.
Some banks (I don’t have a list but I know revolut is one) can provide single-use card numbers, but they don’t limit the amounts and ofc cannot be used for subscription services
That’s a bummer
Monero
Monero and shopinbit
Come back when it is accepted everywhere like cards today
You can buy visa or mastercard cards with it if needed. So its accepted everywhere those are
Not too knowledge in crypto. Learn something new today.
Glad I could help.
Where buy? Never found that.
Coinsbee.com, coincards.com, and cake pay
None worked in my EU country, edit cake pay does seem to work
https://xmr.directory/ also a good source, and https://kycnot.me/
In general, use monerica to find vendors who accept xmr
It is…?
