I wonder why this isn't standard service from every credit card provider, ideally as an app.
It would make the CC numbers from database leaks a less valuable target since users could easily compartmentalize for every transaction.
- toast_coder 8y agoBecause the work involved in creating eneyerprise scalable software platforms that deal with financial transactions is REALLY hard.
- pbreit 8y agoIt's a massive undertaking for very little benefit. And there's a large group of card holders who hate when their number changes.
- VectorLock 8y agoThey hate it when they have to change their card number and have to update it on a ton of places. If that ton of places have their own numbers, you don't have to update them all when you have to kill one number.
