I’m also interested in this. The biggest issue is that a lot of the proposed services in this thread are debit cards not credit cards. They don’t come with the same buyer protections from fraud and bad merchant behavior. Some do offer protection but the terms of it are a bit different.
I’m looking for a credit card with unlimited active cards that I can revoke on demand, Starling for example limits you to 5 active (Starling are great BTW). To be truly useful to me I’d want each merchant to get their own card.
Monesse and Revolut allow you to create as many virtual cards as you want. Then you can delete them after use.
I believe Starling Bank and Monzo both do virtual cards (looks like you need to pay for a Plus account in Monzo but it comes free with Starling).

I’ve heard of Revolut and Curve so far.
I’m warning anyone that will listen against Curve. It worked great until the two times I needed support (one where I got double charged for something, and another was fraud related). You can’t contact their support team. There’s no phone support, even for ongoing fraud. If you phone them they redirect you to a form to fill in. I never got a response from them.
If there is somthing simmillar in australia as well please let me know
Looks like revolut works in Australia but based on their help page
“maximum of 20new virtual cards every 30 days”
Unless you need to burn through virtual cards like nobody’s business this would be more than enough, all your bank would see is you sending money to revolut so all those data points on what you spend money on in the banking apps won’t work anymore.
Only privacy.com and MySudo exists atm and both of them only work for the US citizens. You can check if your bank allows creation of virtual cards (could be branded as “online shopping” card or something like that), it will give you the same functionality and that way you won’t have to trust multiple parties with your data.
