I have never liked PayPal and I am still forced to use them. Did you knew the longest password you can use us 20 characters?
(I’m located within the European Union) Anyhow, I want something more private, but still quite convenient to use and have something in between my bank details and the site I’m shopping on. Years some companies make virtual temporary cards.
I remember I tried getting privacy.com back in the day but couldn’t as it was for Americans and Canadians at the time.
Suggestions? :P

Every neobank (and some traditional banks) allow you to generate proxy cards. Revolut (even though its global HQ isn’t in the EU) allows you to do that. Same with N26 (German neobank).
Ah yes
Because they are more private… You know, the banks that dont let you use GrapheneOS.
Revolut works perfectly.
All my banking apps work on GOS. Flawlessly, well, except N26 which a bit unstable and crashes quite a lot. Nevertheless it works enough to be usable.
Just be aware that n26 was put under strict surveillance by Bafin (Federal Financial Supervisory Authority for Germany). I only have a German source though: https://www.golem.de/news/onlinebank-bafin-ordnet-aufpasser-fuer-n26-an-2512-203292.html
