Privacy can handle that for you while hiding your real card number the whole time. No more entering in your card number for every transaction or having to save your real credit card number with companies online. This makes shopping online not only more secure, but convenient as well. The service is completely free to use and, like Token, creates secure virtual cards and completes checkout forms for you. Privacy is a similar service to Token, which some additional enhancements to the capabilities of your virtual account numbers. If you're looking to up your security when shopping online and over the phone, check out Token in the App Store. In addition to the app, they are releasing a free Chrome browser extension that will allow users of the service even easier access to their virtual account numbers when shopping online. They are also working on Token Business, which will provide the same features for small businesses. Token is completely free for personal use. Rather, they use the tokenization process to create a new, indistinguishable set of numbers that make your payment information meaningless to anyone else. They don't ask for your Social Security Number, none of your information is stored on device, and they do not save your payment information anywhere. They are also committed to keeping your information private, even from them. When you download the app, Token verifies your identity and then enables two-factor authentication, adding an additional layer of security to all of your virtual account numbers. So, if you have a card that you want to up the security on but your provider doesn't offer virtual account numbers, these services are for you. However, if you still want to get the benefits of Virtual Account Numbers, do not despair! Seeing the lack of this important product in the market, a couple of companies have shown up offering these services for any and all debit and credit cards. There are a number of other banks that offer Virtual Account Numbers, but the security feature is still missing from most institutions.
If you need to, you can change your debit card number to shut off access to your account. It's a similar concept to giving a company your debit card number instead of your checking account number. Apple Card supports Virtual Account Numbers, which give you the ability to generate a new digital credit card number that, while tied to the main account, helps protect you in cases where you don't feel comfortable with a certain merchant having your main account number. Not only will the physical titanium card be devoid of any account numbers, expiration dates, or CCV (the three-digit code on the back), but they are ramping up security when you are shopping online.
One of the things I am really looking forward to is the fact that Apple Card is really beefing up the focus on credit card security.
