Introducing GhostCard: A More Private Way to Pay
GhostCard is a private, cash-like virtual card that lets you pay online without being tracked. You create a burner card, use it where you like, then delete or freeze it whenever you’re done. No profiling, no hidden trails, no merchants storing your details. It’s a simple way to stay in control of your spending and protect your identity in a world where everything is logged and followed.
Introducing GhostCard: A More Private Way to Pay Online
Every time you buy something, you hand over more than money. You hand over a trail. Your card number, your name, your address, your habits, your tiny unintentional patterns. And once those details are out there, they get passed around, stored in places you have never heard of and bundled up into profiles that follow you long after the payment is over. The strange part is that we barely notice it anymore. It has become normal. GhostCard started because we realised it should not be.
What is GhostCard?
GhostCard is a private, cash-like virtual card for the internet. You generate a burner card, use it for whatever you want and then delete it. No tracking, no profiling, no long-term trail. You stay in control. Merchants only see a disposable number. Your real identity never enters the room.
Why we are building it
The internet has quietly turned into a place where everything is logged, stored, and cross-referenced. Even the smallest purchases become part of a bigger picture you never agreed to paint. We wanted to build something for people who feel uncomfortable with that. People who want some privacy without needing to be tech experts. People who like the idea of digital cash instead of digital surveillance.
We also built it because payments have become high-risk:
Your card details end up in too many databases
Subscription traps charge you long after you forget
Merchants over-collect personal data
Leaks and hacks feel inevitable
You lose control the moment you press “pay now”
We thought there should be a better way.
How it works
GhostCard is simple on purpose.
Create a burner card -> Use it anywhere cards are accepted -> Delete or freeze it whenever you like
Keep your real financial identity safe in the background. Your bank never sees what you buy. Merchants never get access to your real details. No one builds a profile of you based on your spending. This is the payment experience we wish already existed.
Where we are now
GhostCard is in its early stage, and we are building with purpose. We are partnering with regulated financial providers, designing a clean user experience, and refining the tools that make burner cards feel effortless.
If you want to be part of the early group testing GhostCard, you can join the waitlist. The more people we bring in now, the better the product becomes.
