I am an EU citizen and I have heard about privacy.com for virtual cards. As I understand it is only for those US bank accounts and Credit Union accounts. Are similar services available for EU citizens where we can get disposable virtual cards?

    Have you tried a bank in your country? Mine have been providing virtual cards for over a decade.
    Or Revolut. Or N26.

    Revolut does this, I’ve heard not to trust it with much of your money (apparently hacked accounts or something), and I dunno how the company is privacy wise.

    But you have unlimited single use virtual cards with an account on it

      I göt Revolut and uses their virtual cards all the time. I have one virtual card and also unlimited disposable cards.

      Had some problems with my app because I run LineageOS but could spoof that so the app doesn’t complain anymore.

      Icant say that I have 100% knowledge about there privacy standpoint. But it works good and I don’t have to pay anything and I can transfer money from cryptobrokers without any questions (which my former bank didn’t like 🤣)

    Revolut is an option. And hopefully soon we’ll also get GNU Taler, which isn’t exactly a virtual card system, but is a private payment system. The customer is kept anonymous while the seller’s income is transparent.
