An anonymous debit card is a debit card in which the name of the card holder does not appear on the card. The other option is to get someone else’s name or the name of one’s corporation printed on the card.

How to get an Anonymous Debit Card

Cards issued directly from the bank always have the name of the account holder printed on the physical card. An application needs to be submitted requesting for an anonymous debit card. Documents, such as identity proof and establishing the authenticity of the account holder are a prerequisite.

An anonymous debit card saves the time utilized in getting the card holder’s name printed on the card. This is why such debit cards can be issued almost immediately.

How is Secrecy Maintained While Opting for an Anonymous Debit Card?

An anonymous debit card can be obtained through a law firm for secrecy purposes. Once the card is ready for use, it is the law firm’s duty to deliver it to the card owner at any address in the world. Anonymous card holders often prefer to make their transactions over the internet. Therefore, if they want, they can obtain the card details, such as the pin number and card number, from the law firm through the phone, fax or an e-mail. The law firm may or may not be allowed by the card holder to retain the card.

The card owner can alternatively, directly pick up the card from the law firm.
