Wealthsimple should add virtual disposable card numbers! why doesn’t Canada have this yet?
So I was looking into Privacy.com the other day, it’s a US service that lets you create unlimited virtual card numbers tied to your real card. Set a spending limit, use it once, delete it. Super useful for sketchy websites, free trials you forget to cancel, that kind of thing.
Robinhood has something similar built into their Gold Card now too.
Meanwhile in Canada… nothing. Nobody has built this.
Wealthsimple already has a Visa card and they’re clearly trying to be more than just an investing app. This feels like an obvious next step for them.
I already suggested it through their in-app chat and they said they’d pass it to the product team, but figured I’d post here to see if anyone else actually wants this or if it’s just me???
(Also, got selected recently for the new Wealthsimple Visa cashback beta. Really appreciate being considered even though I couldn’t join due to income requirements as a student. Shows Wealthsimple is heading in the right direction though 🙌)
