>Some of the better products out there exist for customers outside of the US.
Would appreciate if you could give some examples for non-US customers, at least for another point of comparison.
- bobcostas55 12y agoIn Sweden I can do this...you launch a desktop or phone app, tell it what limit you want on the card and when you want it to expire, and it gives you a number w/ CVC code that you can use instantly.
- negrit 12y agoSame in France. The US is just behind.
- JetSpiegel 12y agoPortugal has MBnet, with a web interface and an Android app, as I recall. It works as advertised.
- icebraining 12y agoI can attest. It supports both "one shot" cards as well as multi-use (with a time limit, up to one year), both with a limit on how much they can be charged. That said, I don't think it has an Android app, just a mobile website. The app that shows in Google Play is just a shortcut to the website (built by an unaffiliated developer). And of course, it doesn't even any of the notification stuff, it's just a gateway to your regular bank account. Nor does it have physical cards.
- JetSpiegel 12y agoYeah, I mistook it for the Caixadirecta app, it's a different thing. MBnet is made by SIBS, the same entity that controls all the ATM.
- dcustodio 12y agoyes, MBnet is awesome. but sometimes some sites don't accept it (when they test the card doing some transactions first), I wonder if Final will have the same issues.
- lm2s 12y agoThat used to happen but I haven't experienced that in a while. Even before the introduction of multi usage virtual cards.
- riffraff 12y agointesa/sanpaolo/bci/cib/whatever (has a ton of brands in europe) has virtual cards with time-based expiration (at most 12 months) or single use. I am reasonably sure ING and unicredit did that too some years ago.
