Afaik there are none, but I don’t really get why I should use these services anyway. Pulling out my phone is only marginally faster than just using a card directly. They do improve security, kinda like a real life PayPal they prevent others from getting your card on file, but it’s not worth the cost in privacy imo. That’s part of the reason I use a credit card in the first place: Credit companies act as a proxy between you and your bank account and they offer some fraud protection.
Use cash if you want privacy. The card is linked to your name too.
Or even better, make Trotsky happy, use barter
And be sure that Visa and MasterCard are mining your data.
