I am extremely paranoid about websites having my credit card info so this is so helpful, although I still get anxiety everytime I buy something. It’s nice to know that my card isn’t stuck there 🥰🥰
@@kevink1214 that's correct. It's worse to have your bank info out there than your credit card info. At least your credit card is insured and the Bank is liable for any loss on the card...
Hey Josh...another great consumer hack to beat the big, power hungry, consumer info gussling conglomerates. Love it. Need something like this in the UK for sure. Keep up the great work😊👍
I've been using privacy for a while now but my main concern about this is that if they get hacked and if they DO actually log your card credentials, you're basically screwed.
Screwed is a bit of an overstatement. There’s always risk with everything, but this service helps mitigate the risk of spreading your credit card info and address all over the internet.
Set up a second checking account with your bank and upload that account to Privacy if you don’t want your main account connected. Then transfer funds to your virtual account when you’re ready to make a purchase.
I think , if the account is closed, the bank will reject the refund. Once they receive the refund back from the bank, the Comptroller's Office will issue a paper check and mail it to you.
I read through their Privacy documents but I did not see how long they keep a record of my transactions on file. They would know where I use it and how much I spend. That would be a handy data point for marketers. I'd like it more if I knew after 30-60-90 days for example any transactions are purged for privacy, not retained forever.
That's crazy bro I'm just now got one and I don't know how to use it very enlightening thank you for filling me in man I had no idea I could do what you said I can do that's insane.
From Canada- I switched from credit to my EQ Bank loadable card. Gives 0.5% cashback and 2.50% on the balance, high interest savings account 2.50% a month, has good GICs and high interest TFSA 3%, 0 fees, reimburse ATM fees in Canada.. i recommend this bank to Canadians.
Did they ask for the last 4 digits of your ssn? Im not sure if its because I clicked business and not personal but I'm not really open to giving my social out. I would like to avoid that if possible.
I really wish we had access to a service with these features in the UK. It's such a bad idea to type your card details into any website and yet we're all guilty of it. It's become so commonplace now with most transactions only going through major websites and payment providers but this is so much more secure.
Doesn't Visa work everywhere? I actually used a credit card in Asia and closed it the next month. I was wondering how does the name work? Do you need to use your real name?
I'm from Spain EU and this would be really useful sadly it's the US only I hope they expand to other countries in the world too bc I can't find a service that does the same in the EU sadly or that is trustworthy enough
I have an amex card that I want to make purchases but are only accepting visa/mastercard. Is there a virtual card that will turn my amex into a visa or mastercard?
For On-Demand cards, you could just PAUSE them until you need to use them, then you will not worry about unauthorized expenses. Or Even more so, you could just find out when Automatic payments typically go through and PAUSE until the day before. Sure it's more work, but its an extra layer of safety.
Even with a cancelled card and a pause, monthly subscriptions will still charge your bank account. Frustrating as hell and quite frankly bullshit if you ask me
@@brandonb5818 What? How can they still charge your account if you pause the card? To my understanding this is literally one of the primary the purposes of virtual cards...
@@brandonb5818 that's correct any subscriptions go thru to a new credit card number! EXCEPT so far as of 12/25/23 USAA I can freeze my credit card (not debit) and NOTHING GOES THU! .... only drawback? its for Veterans and family members... wah wah.. LOL
Ty man you just made my day see my mom won’t let me use a credit card to buy games because I need to link on and I can use one that doesn’t work so in a way your helping me
This is interesting but today I realized that I can keep my credit and debit cards locked all the time and just unlock when I want to use them. It's instant through the card's phone app. Recurring charges still go through. I still get my cashback. Perfect for cards you hardly ever use but I locked all of mine. Also, make accounts on transunion, equifax, and experian and freeze your credit. Nobody can get credit in your name with the credit freezes in place. Get on the sites and temporarily lift the freezes the day before applying for credit. Between the credit freeze preventing new credit in my name and locking the credit/ debit cards preventing most fraud on them, and of course you can dispute charges on credit cards of someone overcharges... I'm feeling like my money and credit are pretty safe. But those virtual cards are cool, I bookmarked the page.
Then the supplier refund on this virtual card. These cards exist in South Africa too via the bank and I use it especially for on line shopping. I credit the amount needed on the virtual card like that i avoid any problem and i am safe
Something of note, not all banks are supported using your debit card, so you'll be required to enter your checking account number and I don't know about you but I'm not comfortable giving my checking account number to just anyone.
In Brazil we have an actual Visa virtual credit card generated by the bank app. It's like a token. Unique # and CVV that lasts 72hs for a single purchase. And yes, I get all the benefits from my regular Visa credit card. I don't believe banks in USA don't offer that service!
@KgothatsoNthite Capitec, Nedbank, Standard bank and Tyme Bank not sure about others you can find it on your cellphone banking remote app, or ask for assistance in you local branch, it's like haven't Teo different cards from the same bank one physical and one digital
Oh, I also found there are other similar services by many of the major credit card companies or banks. Wellsfargo, Mastercard, Citi, Capital One, American Express, Chase, Visa, etc... All have virtual card services.
Very true, although in my experience they’re pretty worthless. The virtual card from my bank doesn’t allow me to set spending limits, pause the card or easily create a new one.
How do they make money? An important question to ask before dealing with any business that seems to good to be true. I really don't know but I need to find out before moving forward. I also wish you included this in your video.
Other than being able to use the restrictions, is this much different than using PayPal for online? I have it tied to an account and credit card that I rarely use and keep the balance low on so if something comes out I see it right away and I can contact them... knock on wood I have never needed to challenge any fraudulent transactions but it does have that layer between my personal info.
Ok so I've been using Privacy for a year and love it. The only issue I run into is I have to update my account information because I will get a decline saying my funding account isn't linked. I go in update the information and resubmit and it works fine. Now I have a new question. Is there a physical card out there that will change numbers each time I use the card? I use Samsung pay but there are still places where I have to use a physical card. As always thanks for all your hard work and informative videos!
Great idea but this is the equivalent to a debit card. They do not yet accept credit cards as a payment source. For this reason I see limited use. Maybe to pay Amazon, utilities. Anything larger there still needs to be a way to mask the number while still using a credit card. I see this as a limited fix.
Thanks for the review. While having 1password and privacy be integrated with one another is pretty handy the last thing anyone should do is put all of their passwords and their banking information in one basket. Doing so basically defeats the point of even trying to have digital hygiene.
Why I can't use it in other parts of the world... why is it limit to America it's visa Mastercard same as anybody, surely that's against free trade with banking what reason do they give they won't accept anybody else outside of the US? how much do they take in transaction
First, they don’t take anything from me on the transaction. I’m assuming they make money from a percentage of the credit card fees for the merchant. Second, it’s not about Visa/MasterCard. It’s about the funding source and the Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance for Privacy - that’s why it’s US-only.
Ty. I just had fraud from shopping on Etsy. They tried using 400 to purchase airplane tickets, but my bank declined because the person put the wrong expiration date which caused a decline. Thank God and also, because I got notification immediately I was able to freeze anything going in or taking out then call my bank and get new cards. Here I am waiting a week so far and still have not received them yet.
Josh, I just discovered that in Europe Revolut clients have access to a virtual credit card similar to the services you show here. Might be interesting to explore in a video ;)
I am so surprised as Virtual Card are very common here in South Africa. All banks provide this service, I have them too and use it for online purchase for same security reason as you 😀😀
do i able to use outside US ? Facebook have paid me some amount and sent the money as virtual credit card.. however i live in Malaysia,what should i do to get to used it ??
I tried Privacy, but they block a lot of "seedier" sites like porn sites and such which makes them essentially ineffective if you are into that kind of thing and wanting to protect yourself. They also block a lot of conservative sites as well and seem to follow the trends of Facebook, Google, Twitter on blocking "undesirables".
oh they block conservative sites? Then, I won't use them. We need to boycott these businesses. I really wish conservatives would start boycotting. People STILL buy Coca-Cola which is a racist anti-White company.
It's a very cool idea, however, this only good for monthly known payments to most likely people who are NOT going to sell your CC Number. It's all the OTHER, once off purchases I make. I guess if you are willing to make a single pay card for every transaction you make, you're good to go, but to me? That seems like A LOT of extra work. BTW, CHASE will send you a new credit card in 2 days, all you have to do is ASK for it when reporting your fraud.
I was excited about this option until I tried it and realized it wanted to pull my credit and said I needed to apply for a "charge card" before I could move forward. :(
Hello Sir, I hope you answer me that is what if u apply for remote job and they ask for ur card. Will Virtual Credit Card still works? Since i may have some doubt about company being scam. Or what are other ways to protect myself while giving something virtual card info? thx
Great video Josh! I have been trying to find a service like this in the Philippines but I can't find one unfortunately. I have known this website since 2016 and it's already 2021 and I still can't use it. It needs US address and US phone number for verification as far as I can remember.

Is this work in papau new Guinea
Refund should work exactly as they are supposed to. FYI, for a merchant to issue a refund they don't need the card number, virtual or otherwise.
It goes back to your virtual debit card as long as you still have a dollar in there so it doesn’t deactivate the card

I'm from Aus and I use Revolut
@@AllThingsSecured Thanks, I just so happen to be a University IT Student 😄
It is great but it requires a ssn what about us teens that are sitting around 16 years old needing one for a paypal or reselling transactions
Is it normal for them to ask you to upload your driving license front and back and upload pictures of your face. Before they let you use their service
Any non US alternativ to this?
wise offers up to 3 virtual cards
Will the bank just see it as just a price without the actual service linked to it?
If you pay for the premium service ($10/mo), you can change how the charge shows up to the bank.
So if I have a credit card from a US Bank but live outside the US that will work?
If you’re a US citizen or legal resident, it doesn’t matter if you live outside the US.
In trying to create one but it wont work
great video!
what do you use for full name and address?
Anything you want. Seriously, it accepts anything.
@@AllThingsSecured is that technically kinda fraud?
They’re debit cards, not credit cards
Is it possible to change the country the card is from and give it a different billing address
Do you still think it's safe to connect my bank account to privacy? I would love to try it. It's a great idea.
So if we travel to Europe we just use this funded through our debit account?
Shopping, restaurants, etc.
Can we use it in phone for apple pay or samsung pay?
Interesting idea, but if it is free then what are they doing with your data? Banking information? Purchase History?
Your Visa and Mastercard is free, yet we use them without issue. These virtual cards have the same business model.
