And that's part of why I transferred over to privacy.com for all my online stuff. Every online website/service gets a dedicated card, with set limits and are easily deactivated.
Unfortunately, privacy.com only works in the united states. I'm unaware of any alternatives.
I did the exact same after. Love that service.
No hidden fees... Because if you try to charge past that limit I set, it gets denied lol
Revolut can create virtual and single-use cards. Some places don't accept the single ones, but you can just create a new virtual card and deactivate it right away.
only accessible through a mobile app.
apparently currently they allow it, but as lots of bank apps deny operation to degoogled phones, phones with a replaced rom, and rooted phones, it has the risk of losing access to your money when they decide to implement those practices. normal banks have a website and offices where you can manage your finances.
