I had this idea myself, I Googled it and found nothing. Visa has 3D Secure (which is really just a text-delivered OTP), but implementing the standard is completely optional. I've only come across it on a handful of websites.
Pity it's US only for now.
- Gmo 10y agoI think the more relevant functionality is called in France "e-carte bleue" : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paiement_sur_Internet#La_e-carte_bancaire https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paiement_sur_Internet#La_e-car... (Sorry, only in French). You generate a fake card number, this number is linked with an expiration date AND a maximal amount that can be charged.
- jle17 10y agoThe quality of the service varies between banks though, I remember my previous bank who forced me to go over a sketchy-looking website and use a Flash applet to generate the card... AFAIK it's not possible to create a card with a monthly chargeable maximum amount, only to set the total amount for the card's lifetime, which limits the interest of the use for recurring payments.
