I'm looking for some recommendations for digital debit/credit cards.

It feels like every other day there's 'the largest data breach in history' and at this point, I really don't trust any entity to safely and securely store PII.

That said, I like buying things on the internet, I'm not into crypto and would rather not include my real card information during checkout.

Any recs would be appreciated, thanks yall!

I occasionally use privacy.com. They let you connect your checking/savings account and generate cards where you can set expenditure limits or make it a single use card. I’ve found it particularly useful for recurring payments.

Hey thanks! I've heard that they require you to submit a copy of your drivers license in order to sign up... idk if Im comfortable with that honestly but maybe I'll give it a shot. I appreciate the recommendation!
