Yes, you can get a credit card with no numbers on it if you get the Apple Card. Having a credit card without any numbers on the physical card is rare, although nothing actually requires a card to display a number.

While it will make shopping online a bit more difficult, a numberless card could have some potential upsides. For example, a card that is stolen with no numbers on it can’t be used for online purchases or purchases made over the phone. However, if somebody steals your card, it can still be used in person. Either way, you should report your card lost or stolen right away and watch out for any charges that may look fraudulent on your credit card account.

How to Protect Your Credit Card Number Online

Even with a physical credit card, you can avoid exposing your actual card number if you use a virtual credit card. A virtual credit card number is still connected to an actual credit card, but it just does not use the number from your physical card. This adds an extra layer of protection against fraud while you shop online.

Some of the largest credit card networks and issuers, like Capital One and Citibank, offer virtual card services. You can also use Click to Pay, which was created as a joint service for all four major credit card networks.
