Is there a UK version of this service?

Not that I;ve seen, I looked at that myself a while back as I was interested too.

 

I do use a curve card, so that merchants etc don't get your actual banking details, and you can lock the card etc from an app... you scan your bank cards in and can decide for each use of the card whether physical or online, which currency to use and which card. Just be aware that when you change the card in use, it uses that card until you select another one, so you can't set it by merchant etc.

I second this. Get a Curve Card its free and use that. Entropay is similar but it's not 100% free so I just use a Curve Card

No worries, sorry I couldn't help you here... I'd be very interested in this for the UK too. I love the curve card, it has definitely improved my security and other stuff when it comes to my bank cards, but just wish there were features like this privacy.com to create one shot cards for untrusted sites, and per merchant etc.

I did email their support and asked if they planned to support UK banks but all they said is they hope to soon.

Ahh cool, that would be very welcome. I don't think it'd be long before some other business or bank would do this anyway, as it only makes sense to offer this type of stuff in the age we are now with mass fraud going on all the time and businesses getting hacked for card details etc.
