About

Privacy, founded in 2014 and based in the United States, operates a payments platform that generates virtual, masked debit cards for use in online commerce. The platform creates unique, anonymized 16-digit card numbers that stand in for a user's real payment details, shielding actual financial information from merchants and reducing exposure in the event of a data breach or unauthorized charge. The company serves both consumers and businesses and claims to have processed billions of dollars in payment volume across more than 250,000 users.

The core product allows users to issue virtual cards with configurable controls, including locking a card to a specific merchant, setting spending limits, restricting cards to a single transaction, and pausing or closing cards at any time. Premium tiers extend these capabilities with category-level budget tracking, cashback rewards, and foreign transaction fee waivers for international purchases. Security infrastructure includes PCI-DSS compliance, SOC 2 Type II certification, and 256-bit encryption.

Privacy operates in the fintech and consumer payments space, addressing a specific problem - payment data exposure during online transactions - through infrastructure that sits between the user's bank account and the merchant. Its technical domain spans virtual card generation, payments infrastructure, fraud prevention, and merchant-binding mechanisms. The platform is available to users in the United States.

At FinDock, we believe that every payment is an opportunity to create a meaningful customer moment.

Our culture is built on trust, customer success, doing good, and helping people thrive.

We organize in cross-functional product teams and craft-based guilds (what we call Nexi), so engineers can grow their discipline while delivering real impact for customers ranging from UNICEF to ABN AMRO.

Mercury

In 2017, Mercury was founded with a simple but radical idea: banking should be better for startups. The founders recognized that money flows through every decision entrepreneurs make when they start and scale their businesses, yet traditional banking was an obstacle rather than a catalyst. They spent the first five years transforming the banking experience into something that actually serves the needs of ambitious companies - turning friction into flow and obstacles into advantages. Today, Mercury is the fintech platform that more than 300,000 entrepreneurs trust with their finances. But the company didn't stop at providing checking and savings accounts, credit and debit cards. Mercury has evolved into the nucleus of financial operations - a source-of-truth where startups can make payments, send invoices, pay bills, monitor spend, understand cash flow, and even access venture debt and treasury management. All from one place, with no monthly fees and powerful automations that save teams countless hours. It's banking as it should be: radically different, thoughtfully designed, and built for the way modern companies actually operate.
