After reading such news I have an obvious question. Does anyone know a PayPal-like service, that allows to hide the destination of my transactions from Mastercard / bank, but with a good privacy policy? Or how else can I restrict the usage of my financial data by mastercard or bank?

That is what I need! Unfortunately, it is for US only... Is there, maybe, something similar in European region?

Oh, sorry, I've assumed that you are in US since you posted an article about FTC.

I don't know if there is a similar service in Europe. I think you could get a virtual card linked to a crypto wallet, but this obviously comes with downsides
