Privacy is the virtual card platform giving consumers and small businesses
complete control over their online payments.
Our virtual cards protect 250,000+ users across the U.S., processing over $3
billion in transactions with bank-level security and encryption. From
merchant-locked cards that can't be used anywhere else if stolen, to spending
limits that block unauthorized charges, to one-click pausing that stops
subscriptions instantly, Privacy puts financial control back in users' hands.
We're building a future where every online payment is secure by default, free
from data breaches, unauthorized charges, and hidden fees. We're proud to have
been named one of Forbes' "Top 100 Most Customer-Centric Companies" and
featured in The Wall Street Journal, TechCrunch, and Wirecutter.
Privacy is the product that started it all. What began as Privacy.com grew
into Lithic, now a Series C company backed by world-class investors including
Bessemer Venture Partners, Index Ventures, Spark Capital, Stripes, and
Mastercard, along with many others. Our dedicated team of 35 sits at the heart
of Lithic's 160+ person organization, spanning 26 states and 7 countries,
headquartered in New York City.
