Credit cards and internet

30th October 2019

When purchasing online my first choice is to use PayPal, as they have fraud insurance in addition to your banks fraud insurance.  If PayPal is not accepted Recommend using a service that provides virtual credit cards so you essentially have a dedicated credit card number per website. 

USA:

privacy.com (US only)

MySudo.com offers virtual Credit Cards and virtual phone #’s.  currently US only.

Canada and other:

Revolut

Banks are most likely to offer Virtual Credit card services

Citi Bank

CapitalOne Eno

Royal Bank offers Virtual Visa Debit

Also rans:

koho.ca partnered with Visa and Peoples Trust.  They previously offered Virtual credit cards, mobile apps for Android & Apple.  but they don’t’ advertise that anymore.

Visa checkout allows you to save your shipping address with your credit card or prepaid credit card.  A disappointing showing for a company that owns this space.

getstack.ca Money must be transferred to stack. Virtual credit cards,  mobile apps for Android & Apple.  Compatible with Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, Fitbit Pay.

PayPal Key previously offered virtual credit cards but discontinued.  not profitable
