Allowance

checked 1 day ago

Allowance issues one-time virtual cards with spend limits so AI agents can make purchases without seeing the user's real card number.

MoneyLive

Users link a personal Visa or Mastercard, and for each agent purchase Allowance issues a one-time virtual card scoped to a spend limit, merchant restriction, and expiration, which the agent uses at checkout instead of the real card.
