Final – A credit card built for the 21st century

BOA had this. I used to buy MP3s off a russian site that I didn't trust. It makes a temp credit card number (a pop up basically) with an expiry date you can set, and an amount you can set. So I would do 30 day credit cards with like $20 on them. I think it was called shopsafe.

Bank of America still has this. Log into your BofA account, then go to Accounts->Credit Card->Information and Services. Look under Features for ShopSafe. I use it when I buy from Alibaba.

Does it still require Flash? I always found that incredibly annoying.

Yes it still requires flash. I use it on a regular basis for most of my one-off online purchases.

Lets fire up Charles and reverse engineer it to make our own client using BOA API

Awesome! Who knew? They certainly don't promote that at all!

So does Citibank. I use it all the time for shady-internet purchases.

I used this feature years ago with a Visa from MBNA. They got bought by BOA who later rolled it in to all their credit cards. Citibank also has this feature since around 2001.

Do you need to have a BOA credit card or can you do the same thing with just a BOA checking account (i.e. debit card)?

I believe it only works with the Visa credit cards from BOA. Even MasterCard credit cards from BOA do not have this feature.

I'm not seeing it on my BoA checking account.
