Thank you for being a valued customer.

Is that something that new? My bank (Itaú, in Brazil) offers this option for some time now. Here(in portuguese): https://www.itau.com.br/cartoes/cartao-virtual/ Or am I missing something?

I've never heard of anything like this in the US. So I think it is new here, at least.
Blur from Abine.com has an almost identical system to the one described here.

It does :), you can create directly from your dashboard without an extension. The current onboarding flow pushes you towards creating a card first, but we'll patch that.
Good to hear! Bring this to Europe and I can see it being very popular, credit cards aren't as common or easy to get here and ordering outside of your local country often requires one. I imagine that's still a long way away though :).

Citi and BOA get away with it because they can allocate out of a large pool of BIN numbers that are otherwise regular use debit/credit cards. These guys will have to figure out how to get a similar "mix" to avoid being flagged as prepaid/single use. This was the issue that ultimately caused PayPal to kill the service they had that was almost exactly the same as Privacy.com.
> will have to figure out how to get a similar "mix" to avoid being flagged as prepaid/single use. This was the issue that ultimately caused PayPal to kill the service That's fascinating. Perhaps PayPal killed it for multiple reasons because the (possibly biased) answer from a PayPal said not enough people were using it: "The one-time card numbers -- technically they were MasterCard virtual debit card numbers -- were…
If a lot of merchants were flagging and rejecting transactions from Paypal's virtual CC BIN numbers, that would prevent people from using it very often, leading to "not generating sufficient tx volume", right?
I want to use this, but I don't want to give you full access to my bank account.
What we need here is a physical credit card that I can use in the real-world that has a new number on each swipe. Most of my historical fraud has happened because I probably swiped my card at a location that was compromised.
Just my two cents.

Not really - Paypal was doing it via their browser toolbar ages ago , back when toolbars were still a thing. They stopped offering this functionality back in 2009, I think. That said, it's not particularly common at US banks despite being a horrifically useful feature (Bank of America has it, but I'm not aware of anyone else). I'm excited that I can hop on and use Privacy but it seems like it's more of a feature than…
