This really, really sucks. I have a business credit card that I have to update 20+ sites for every time there's a compromised card issue, and I'd really love to be able to use one card # for each business I work with. They were going to launch a business card in the future but apparently that is now scrapped. Are there any alternatives out there for doing this?
The points I would usually get from my other cards were better.
Also for online transactions, which was supposed to be the strong point of Final, I never use my card on unreputable sites. But even if I did, disputing transactions is so easy these days.
Sorry that you didn’t make it folks. Good luck in your future adventures.

"ghosting" just means ending all interaction without warning. not necessarily in the context of a relationship. one can ghost a job, a friend, or even someone selling things on craigslist. "He ghosted me after finding out I have kids."
Ghosting can also be situational. For instance, you can ghost from a bar or party, which is essentially just disappearing without saying goodbye and trying to avoid anyone noticing you leaving. Also called an Irish Goodbye.
It'd suck to be a stable startup with plenty of funds/cashflow in a similar niche to a company closing like this, and have people not willing to try your product because they're now too timid.

FWIW in Spain is a French goodbye
We're going to get to a point where no one is willing to invest any time or money (as a consumer) into products sold by a startup, because they all vanish quickly and with short or no notice. I'm already at that point.

Something like a credit card is, of course, vulnerable to what you say. But the benefit to this sort of timidity is that companies making IoT things ought to lean more heavily into ensuring that their products will work even if they go under.

Early Final adopter here. I liked the product but wasn't able to differentiate between Final and other VCCs. Bank of America and Citibank offer virtual credit card creation which is very close to what Final does. Their UI is very clunky but does the trick without worrying about the liability part.
I was using Bank of America's ShopSafe system a decade ago. Remember all those "Get a free Xbox for completing these 12 free trial offers" scams? Well, it turned out that some of them weren't necessarily scams, and there were whole forums dedicated to actually completing the offers, keeping proper documentation and claiming the prizes. Most of the free trial offers validated your credit card for the initial free mont…
