BOA had this. I used to buy MP3s off a russian site that I didn't trust. It makes a temp credit card number (a pop up basically) with an expiry date you can set, and an amount you can set. So I would do 30 day credit cards with like $20 on them. I think it was called shopsafe.
- Animats 12y agoBank of America still has this. Log into your BofA account, then go to Accounts->Credit Card->Information and Services. Look under Features for ShopSafe. I use it when I buy from Alibaba.
- zippergz 12y agoDoes it still require Flash? I always found that incredibly annoying.
- anonetal 12y agoYes it still requires flash. I use it on a regular basis for most of my one-off online purchases.

- azinman2 12y agoAwesome! Who knew? They certainly don't promote that at all!
- JoblessWonder 12y agoSo does Citibank. I use it all the time for shady-internet purchases.
- exhilaration 12y agoDo you need to have a BOA credit card or can you do the same thing with just a BOA checking account (i.e. debit card)?
- spb 12y agoI'm not seeing it on my BoA checking account.
- whitenoise 12y agoI believe it only works with the Visa credit cards from BOA. Even MasterCard credit cards from BOA do not have this feature.
- vpeters25 12y agoI used this feature years ago with a Visa from MBNA. They got bought by BOA who later rolled it in to all their credit cards. Citibank also has this feature since around 2001.
