About Us
About GhostCard
GhostCard is a privacy-first virtual card platform that lets you spend online without leaving a permanent data trail. It acts as a secure middle layer between your bank and the places you shop, breaking the link so that your spending history can’t be used to build profiles on you. We don't share your purchases with advertisers, banks or Big Tech platforms – and we never will. In short, GhostCard gives you a cash-like way to pay digitally: convenient and accepted everywhere, but without handing over your personal financial details each time you click "Buy".
Why GhostCard Exists
Today, even the smallest purchase leaves a detailed trail of personal data. Every time you buy something, you hand over more than money – you hand over a trail of your card number, name, billing address and buying habits. Those details often get stored in places you've never heard of, passed between companies, and bundled into consumer profiles that follow you around long after the purchase. We’ve all seen how frequently this data gets shared, analysed, and sometimes leaked in breaches. (For example, a 2024 breach at a payment provider exposed the full credit card details of 1.7 million customers in one stroke). The strange part is, this level of surveillance has become normal – most of us never explicitly agreed to it, we just learned to live with it.
GhostCard exists because we believe there’s a better way. Buying something online should not cost you your privacy. We built GhostCard for people who feel it’s unfair that “everything is logged and followed” in modern payments. Instead of accepting that “it’s only a matter of time until the next data breach” when using your actual card, you should be able to make a purchase without wondering who is watching or selling that information. GhostCard offers an alternative for those who want to opt out of the constant monitoring every time they press “Pay Now.”
How GhostCard Works
GhostCard makes online payments feel as private and discreet as paying with cash, while still using the familiar card system. Here’s how it works:
