That led to merchant-specific numbers and limits, managed automatically, as well as transparency in statements. It’s our stake in the ground, a way to shift the culture in credit towards consumer friendliness.&lt;p&gt;Happy to answer questions</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>Someone1234</author><text>Do you actually know, for a fact, that you can generate arbitrary card numbers? Meaning have you got an agreement with visa, mastercard, or similar where they allow you to do that.&lt;p&gt;Is there a limit on how many customers&amp;#x2F;unique card numbers you can have, and is there an inherent cost in gaining a new number (e.g. will accounts be capped at X disposable numbers per Y period).&lt;p&gt;Once you delete a card number how quickly is it returned to the &amp;quot;pool?&amp;quot; And do you re-assign it to a new user requesting a number?&lt;p&gt;Do you think third party web-sites will break because a card number is used twice for two different users (e.g. user 1 and user 2 both have the same number on their accounts, because user 1 let it expire, and then user 2 received it and utilised it).&lt;p&gt;Are you worried that these numbers could be used for fraud or abuse (e.g. unlimited trials).</text></comment>

It&amp;#x27;s better for me to pay off my balance every month, but better for my bank if I don&amp;#x27;t so they can collect interest.&lt;p&gt;Will this be any different with Final? If so, how do you plan to make money?</text></comment>
