When you buy something online, you obviously need to give your card details, which are tied to you. Virtual cards solve that, but, in the UK (and I think most places) you also need to provide a billing address. I don’t think virtual card providers give you a masked billing address and I doubt you will be able to use a PO box with most banks to try and prevent fraud. Because of this, can online purchases still be linked to you even with virtual cards?
I don’t think virtual cards are meant to be more anonymous? My understanding is that it prevents that your original card details get stolen in online transactions
That makes sense, thanks for your reply!
