@Wolfie Completely seconding the Revolut suggestion here. For privacy protection, works perfectly!
IIRC, they block 3rd Android ROMs (eg GrapheneOS) using Google's Safety net service verification.
privacy protection with a service that's only accessible through an ownership controlling, datamining-filled smartphone app? it was just a joke, right?
if they do this on your phone, what are they doing with your transaction data..
@ReversalHatchery I want to respectfully say that I find your answer a bit agressive in tone. I was just trying to give my best shot at an answer, even if I am not a privacy expert, as OP was really just asking for a way to conceal his Credit Card Number, or that's what I understood.
I agree that total privacy will not be accomplished without using a custom rom and more private applications, but I feel like, for the average user, that might be too much work
sorry for that. but what I wanted to say is that revolut is a quite anti-consumer bank in my perception
