Privacy.com - Get a new virtual card for every transaction

@bolingj this looks great. congrats. when can we expect to see this service hitting the UK?

@mrandydavis It's in our long term roadmap, but unfortunately no firm timeframe yet :(.

@bolingj When will you be available in Europe? Will you be SEPA compatible?

@bolingj Congrats on this. I have been waiting on something like this ever since Paypal shutdown their version of it. I plan to sign up shortly and give it a shot. I hope you guys solved the 1 issue that I have had with the paypal one in ages past is that some sites would see the card as not real or invalid or non-existent. Hopefully you guys got that kink worked out. P.S. Just finished signing up, I love that your Chase linking happened instantly. The second I hit next, it already had my 2 accounts ready to choose from. Superbly done. I assume you guys are using Plaid? as Yodlee is vastly slower in that department (used to work in a Fintech startup)

@daegalus Thank you! We are using Plaid. They are the best :).

@kachchani Thank you!

@kachchani I concur. The entire onboarding process from sign up through linking a bank account to paying on Watsi is absolutely beautiful.

What's Final.com?

@ldesserrey not answered for 2 years, nice

@ldesserrey @asmekhov truth , 5 years later

@ldesserrey @asmekhov @wesleywilson 6 years later

@big_aash looks very similar to me but I don't know if Final ever launched...

@fletchrichman @big_aash Funny story. I met the Final guys at a YC hackathon (without knowing who they were) the day after their public launch and one of the guys described their product to me. I was like "Oh that sounds like Final" and he goes "Yeah dude that's us!" Upon further inquiry I realized that at that they actually had not built anything and were trying to build a team.

@joe_blau @fletchrichman @big_aash Yeah, I've been on that waiting list for 16 months now.

@big_aash I'm sure the founders can elaborate more, but Final, on top of browser support, plans to have a physical card and mobile support as well. Full card replacement. It seems like Privacy is just a browser based solution? I could be wrong, but either way its great to see a solution like this actually available! (I worked along side the Final team during Techstars Boulder back in '14)

@fletchrichman We're working on it, but we're also a credit card

@bleachedsleet Thank you! The iOS app is coming soon! We're just pending Apple approval right now. Safari extension is on the roadmap as well.

@bolingj @bleachedsleet Android too?

@jpshells @bleachedsleet It's probably going to be in another few months, but we have Android in the pipeline too!

@brody_berson SAME

@crixlet yes! 😎

@beckerjs Nope - we don't pull a credit check.

@bolingj : How about on the other end? Will a user's credit be affected due to the ownership of many more cards?

@beckerjs Nope!

@bolingj boss.

@beckerjs @bolingj The money doesn't come from a credit account. It's closer to a chargecard model, from what I read.
