What bank/card allows you to create unique credit cards with separate limits? The one I was using (Swedbank/visa/mastercard) stopped providing this service last year.
- Naracion 8y agoPrivacy.com allows you to create virtual credit cards once you connect a source of payment to your account. Can be bank or debit card. I personally create one credit card for every paid subscription I have with the limit set on the amount that's supposed to be debited (eg. Monthly limit on Tidal charging $20). Privacy is a game changer for online transaction security imo. An additional benefit is the ability to subscribe to "try free for a month but oh wait we need your credit card info first so when you forget to cancel we'll keep charging you". Simply create a virtual card with single time spend limit $1 less than the monthly subscription charge, and you can rest assured that your one month trial is a one month trial.
- tjoff 8y agoPrivacy.com is US only though.
- farrisbris 8y agoany decent international(EU) alternative?
- akvadrako 8y agoIs it only for US persons or does it just require a US bank account? Because then you can get one from transferwise.

- tatoalo 8y agoRevolut standard account (w/o monthly fees) gives you a Virtual Card which I use when I don’t trust the site I’m buying from and after the purchase I just freeze it. With the premium cards on top of other perks there’s also Disposable Cards which creates a virtual card for every transaction you want and as soon as that card gets used, it’ll destroy it and create one brand new. For separating limits you can create multiple virtual cards each with limits once met will freeze the card.
- pacificmint 8y agoCitibank offers virtual credit cards. Once they are used by one merchant, they can not be used by any other merchant. On top of that, you can optionally give them money and time limits.
- fimbulvetr 8y agoI rather like this feature from CitiBank. I hate the interface, but the feature is great. I can use it to sign up for monthly services that I'm unsure about. If I don't want to go through the hassle of canceling the service, I just don't renew the cards. I also use it with sites I don't necessarily trust, like a random auto parts store. If it were a tad easier to use, I'd use it for nearly everything.
