How virtual cards protect your wallet

Privacy.com issues unique virtual card numbers you assign to individual merchants or subscriptions. Use them anywhere cards are accepted online, set single-use or recurring rules, and freeze a card with one tap if you suspect fraud. The result: fewer unwanted charges, fewer data leaks, and a clean, searchable history of merchant spending.

Common questions

Do you ship physical cards?
Privacy.com is a digital payments service. Virtual cards are issued instantly in-app and via the browser extension—there’s no physical shipping for core virtual-card features.
Can I get refunds or return subscription charges?
Refunds for purchases must be handled with the merchant. Privacy.com can help you block or close the card to stop future charges, but it does not process merchant refunds.
Are there discounts or referral offers?
Personal use offers a free tier; team and pro tiers are paid. Privacy.com has offered referral credits and occasional promotions—check the app or website for current offers.
