1. This feature is only in paid versions?
2. Will be this availible for more countries?

1. No.
2. Not now. No idea what will happen later.
Many things can be done in the US, which would be plainly illegal here... ;)

No, it's got nothing to do with credit cards, at least not directly.
It's basically a protection against (or rather a detection of) identity thefts - which may result in your credit score (which is a special thingy they have in US) changing.
