Brave payment FAQ
Can I keep my real card and address private from Brave?
Yes. Brave only ever sees your Halocard, never your bank card. You choose the cardholder name and billing address on each card, so your real details stay out of Brave's records. If you ever want a clean break, cancel that card and make a new one in seconds.
Will Brave show up on my bank statement?
No. Your Brave purchases, with the merchant name and amount, show only in your Halocard account, never on your bank or card statement. When you add funds by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, your bank sees a single deposit labelled HALOCARD and nothing about where you spend it. What your bank statement shows.
What should I do if Brave declines or doesn't support my card?
Pay with a Halocard instead. Brave accepts it, and as a US-issued Visa credit card held in US dollars it is accepted at checkouts that are strict about card type or country. Halocard is available for customers in the US and 120+ countries, so check that your country is supported, then make a card for Brave in minutes. See the countries Halocard supports.
Can I use a virtual card for Brave?
Yes. Brave accepts Halocard, a US-issued Visa credit card that works like a debit card. Make a card just for Brave and you are in full control: set a limit, lock it or cancel it whenever you like, without ever handing Brave your bank card.
