Nimbus: A digital spending first credit card

From reading the front page, I&#x27;m not sure I understand what it is.<p>Is it something that is middle-ware for existing credit card(s) that handles subscriptions&#x2F;cancellations? Or is it a &#x27;virtual&#x27; card itself? If the latter, I don&#x27;t see what payment options&#x2F;systems it works through (Visa, Mastercard, etc).<p>There is no reference to a legal entity behind it on any of the page, and no reference to privacy or how personal and financial data is handled, so I will not be touching the &#x27;sign up&#x27; button.<p>For the use-case it seems to be focusing on:<p>Cancel subscriptions and get refunds, plus some money-back scheme. These are &#x27;nice-to-have&#x27; features of a payment product.<p>But core features, at least to me, not addressed on the landing page are: &quot;Where can I use it?&quot; &quot;How reliable is it?&quot; &quot;How safe is it?&quot; &quot;What are the fees [if no fees, why no fees]?&quot; &quot;How&#x27;s my data handled?&quot; Only then do &quot;What are the bonus features?&quot; start to be a differentiator.

Nimbus is a virtual credit card and app that saves you money on your online spending and in-app purchases. It’s easy to sign up for and completely digital.<p>Would love to get your thoughts
