Etsy sellers say their bank accounts were emptied in major billing snafu

Unfortunately if one must supply privacy.com with access to a bank account, it's not an improvement over Etsy in terms of exposure. And with Etsy you can directly supply a credit card, leaving your bank account isolated.

I use privacy.com with a completely separate bank account account with a limited amount of funds. I think that it works well enough.

I use separate bank accounts for various isolation purposes, but they generally have a monthly fee when below a substantial balance. Direct deposit accounts are the exception in my experience, and one doesn't generally have multiple direct deposit employment sources.

If I need to setup a separate account to isolate privacy.com's use, why wouldn't I just make it a Citi account and use their virtual cards instead of providing all my identifying information to yet another third party open to hacking and diminishing of corporate values?

Because I don't use a browser that supports flash.
