      Kind of incredible how we pretty much invented those 3 extra numbers to make sure that knowing what’s on the front won’t he enough to use it, and then we undid that by putting it on the back. https://xkcd.com/2677/

          The card has numbers, they just aren’t printed on it. You can access (and change them) from the phone / computer.

            I’m intrigued. So the card itself has a mag stripe and an RFID chip but no numbers printed on it? You log into your account to copy/paste the numbers for online transactions?

            What bank? I like the idea of “no numbers”

              Yes.

              Mine is Goldman Sachs (Apple Card), but other banks offer it too now, including some big ones like Chase.
