Today it is almost impossible to stay 100% anonymous when it come to payment processing.
So far so good, that said I have tested with a few payment processors what options there are, this is not going to be a step by step guide or a final solution on how to stay anonymous but more an explainer on what I have found out so far, fixes and tweaking is required.
So far the following payment processors accept darks without further checks:
- Genome
- T1 Payments
- Fibonatix
- Goatpay
I spend a lot of days on creating my new platform which was providing different tangible goods to customers only in Europe, I simply copied a existing well reputated website and used it to get an approval from the above payment processors.
After weeks they one by one approved my business and asked for additional documents and information.
What did you provide?
- Passport
- Utility bill not older then 3 months
- business description
- website
After approval I also provided:
- processing history
- information about ticket prices and business procedures
- Terms and Conditions
- Rental agreement
After another few weeks where I almost was giving up I started to get approvals, they accepted the business one by one. Now they asked me to provide a bank account with details to make the payouts, here I had to provide them with a business account which was in my name, so gone was the anonymity.
Did I mentioned that all the documents provided above was from my stock of Darks, I didn't provide a single real document to them and all got approved. It is not possible to do this with cheap darks or fake docs, you need to take your time and create them craefully.
As you can read from this, you need to prepare every little detail before you apply for any merchant account. The detail with the banking information I wasn't able to plan as I write this. Anyway, I'm testing my way through all of this and have some ideas and also projects going that soon will solve my anonymity in regards to banking facilities for my business.
I hope it helps you at some point, it's not easy and it is not cheap but it is very time consuming, just so you know.
