So guys, please, if you already have a good impression regarding any of those cards, please share (European customers in particular
)
Only one real alternative, wirex, but my recent experiences with them haven't been that happy and
their topic is deserted when it's not full of problems.
So, according to you, when you use an ATM you are identified through the card? Why? Perhaps you are talking about visual identification and artificial intelligence because if you're not, that means things are not anonymous at all...
That's exactly what I mean... If I withdraw some cash, am I identified or not?
Yes, you are, your identity is your card number
The bank that issued your card knows already and has logged your activity, the bank that owns the ATM (in case it's a different bank) knows that a person using the card xxxx has withdrawn money, and if it thinks there is something suspicious it can request all your info from your bank, its standard procedure)
when you send your information to them, verify your identity and obtain your higher limits, do your KYC data "travel" beside every payment you do?
Precisely no! When you make a purchase and pay through debit card (be it crypto or not), no identity data travels to the merchants. The merchant only cares about the money and that's it!
Slight correction, the payment processor that is used by the merchants also get your data and stores it.
Not the shop, but the guys that make the transaction possible at their end.
