Bank of America provides this [1], as does Citibank [2] and likely others. Paypal at one time provided this service as well, but it doesn't seem to anymore [3]

- carbocation 14y agoCrazy, thanks for sharing. I use BofA and am interested, but here is the issue: > Set your Valid through date for up to 1 year in the future I'd really like it to be up to the expiration date of my card. It's probably worth doing anyway, I suppose. Thanks for the heads up. Given the zero-liability status, I'm surprised that banks don't promote this feature more visibly.
- pfranz 14y agoI've used the BoA and it's fantastic for one-time purchases. Like another commenter mentioned, it's only good for 1 year and you give a global cap. It would be nice if it was more permanent and allowed for a weekly or monthly cap so you could use it with subscription services or something like Amazon.
- GuyCall 14y agoNice. I wonder if any UK providers do this
- kalleboo 14y agoMy bank in Sweden does (Swedbank), so it's not a US-only thing. They even have an iPhone app for it.
