Was I not clear in my post above? People sometimes take out cash before traveling because cash is the only way to pay for things in certain parts of the developing world.

Sorry, I skipped that part where you meant the developing world. I'm referring to how I spend my money in the EU. Revolut has all these 'neobank' features of limiting contactless spend, creating a virtual disposable card for e-commerce purchases, and also being able to send money to others, etc.

Well, I’d be extremely surprised if Revolut kept all that juicy data for themselves. The net privacy benefit of their disposable cards is most likely negative over using a more privacy-respecting single card bank.

I had the same dirty feeling whenever I paid with my Revolut cards as I do when someone I legit want to connect with adds me on Facebook.
