ADVICE

Use Mobile Wallets To Shield Card Data

  • Use Apple Pay or Google Pay to mask card details from merchants and reduce exposure in data breaches.
  • These services generate tokenized card numbers and act similarly to virtual card providers like Privacy.com.
INSIGHT

Privacy Depends On Who You Distrust

  • Choose a payment tool based on who you want privacy from: merchant or bank.
  • Mobile wallets protect merchants and breaches, while masking bank-visible details is a different feature.
ADVICE

Check Local Fintechs For Digital Cards

  • Consider Revolut or similar European fintechs for digital cards if Privacy.com isn't available in your country.
  • Check regional plan limits because digital card features vary by location and tier.
