PaysafeCard, for greater anonymity when shopping online


It is no secret that for most transactions and online money transfers we need to disclose at least the data of the sender and the recipient.

But does it always have to be like that? What if, for some reason, we don’t want to share our bank card details? If we would like to keep the information about purchases we make online just for ourselves?

For those who want to get to the next level in terms of security and privacy protection, the solution is the anonymous payment card, the PaysafeCard.

Can I open an anonymous bank account?

An anonymous bank account is one that you open without having to present the documents usually required by banks or to provide personal data. It therefore seems a good solution for people who want to stay anonymous and keep their financial transactions just for themselves.

Anonymous bank accounts are allowed in some countries. However, these types of accounts are subject to strict regulations and are closely monitored to prevent illegal practices such as money laundering and terrorist financing.

In many cases, anonymous bank accounts are restricted to that country’s residents. These accounts often require large cash deposits and are subject to high fees.

As you can see, opening an anonymous bank account is not easy. That is why many people opt for prepaid anonymous payment cards instead.

What is an anonymous payment card?

PaysafeCard is an anonymous payment method based on a prepaid system. With it, you can shop online without having to disclose your personal and financial data. And unlike for an anonymous bank account, you can easily own one.
