Privacy.com rebrands to Lithic, raises $43M for virtual payment cards
When Privacy.com was founded in 2014, the company’s focus was to let anyone generate virtual and disposable payment card numbers for free.
The goal was to allow those users to keep users’ actual credit card numbers safe while allowing the option to cut off companies from their bank accounts. In an age of near-constant data breaches and credit card skimmers targeting unsuspecting websites, Privacy.com has made it harder for hackers to get anyone’s real credit card details.
The concept has appealed to many. At the time of its $10.2 million Series A last July, Privacy.com said it had issued 5 million virtual card numbers. Today, that number has more than doubled, to over 10 million, according to CEO and co-founder Bo Jiang.

The company, which has raised a total of $61m to date, intends to use the funds to expand the tools and technologies to issue and manage virtual cards, including enhancements for Privacy.com to continue serving its security-conscious customers.
Founded by Bo Jiang, Jason Kruse, and David Nichols as Privacy.com in 2014, Lithic provides a platform for developers to create virtual and physical payment cards and enable and control spending. Lithic enables developers can issue a card instantly and earn back a percentage of interchange revenue generated by the merchant.
