The UI images look a lot like https://privacy.com. Privacy.com recently added an API (https://privacy.com/card-issuing), so it may actually be.
“Anonymous payments. Use any cardholder name and billing info if you want to make a purchase that you don't want to be associated with you.”
I’m not an expert by any means, but that feels like something that would be illegal and/or a violation of the TOS of Visa/MasterCard because it inhibits the ability for the card processors, banks, etc. to detect and prevent fraud and to meet requirements to notify the government of suspicious transactions.
Anyone have more info on how that all works and the legality of it?

I assume this is just calling Privacy’s APIs, privacy card transactions will go through if the zip code matches, the only thing it doesn’t verify is the name.
The question UI (after entering a signup email) is super polished. I’m on a phone right now so I can’t easily check for front-end dependencies. Does anyone know what was used for that?
Guess will be US only?
What I'm struggling to understand is why there are no privacy.com alternatives outside US. (e.g. in Europe?)
