Questions & Answers
Overview of Ghost Cards
Ghost cards allow you to minimize the amount of personally identifiable information (PII) you share with places you buy at. Historically, Ghost cards provided by banks have been difficult and clunky to transact with; however, new providers have made Ghost cards simple and easy to use. We believe Ghost credit cards and Ghost debit cards are now valuable tools in protecting your privacy and security without compromising convenience.
What is a Ghost card?
A Ghost card, sometimes called a temporary card number or anonymous card number, is a credit or debit card number that can be created through a website or mobile app, and does not come with a physical card. Ghost cards can be utilized for most online purchases to mask your personal and financial information. Oftentimes, you can set a maximum spend or charge limit on the Ghost card to prevent yourself from being overcharged. Some Ghost cards will also lock to a merchant to prevent the card from being used elsewhere if the merchant is breached.
How do Ghost cards work?
A Ghost card is a unique, 16-digit payment card number with a CVV and expiration date that is created instantly through a website or mobile app. Ghost cards function just like a credit or debit card but without the physical card, and can be used for online shopping, over the phone purchases, or any transaction that requires entering a card number.
Many users may think of Ghost cards as burner cards that can be used for quick, one-time purchases. However, Privacy's Ghost cards offer more enhanced security features and unlock more use cases than a simple burner card.

How can you get Ghost cards online?
You may wonder how to get Ghost cards from a company like Privacy.com. The entire process is handled online. This means you don't have to fill out lengthy paper documents or go to a physical location in person. In addition, no credit check is required to open or use a Privacy account. Signing up for a Ghost card service requires some personal information so that the Ghost card issuer can complete a mandatory verification procedure called Know Your Customer (KYC) in accordance with anti-money laundering laws. You can learn more about how to get started using Privacy Cards on our website and blog.
What kind of safety measures does a Ghost card provider take?
Safety and security are very important to Ghost card providers (after all, greater security is one of the main reasons users sign up for the service in the first place). For Privacy specifically, we undergo rigorous internal and third-party audits and hold ourselves to the same rigorous PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) requirements as your bank or credit union.
How much do Ghost cards cost and how do Ghost card companies make money?
Some Ghost card providers charge fees for every card you create or a monthly fee to use their service. Other Ghost card providers may also charge fees for each purchase made with the cards. In contrast, Privacy's Personal plan is completely free to use on all domestic* purchases. We make money off of interchange - the fee that the merchant pays for accepting a debit or credit card - and we will never sell your personal data
