    Cash or Crypto is about all I can think of…

    If your looking to move money from a bank to someone else’s bank, I don’t think you can expect to have much privacy in that from the parties actually making the transfer happen?

      I’m more looking to keep legal transaction data private in the sense of not being shared or sold. If that’s even possible ever-the-more.

        Best option I can think of is privacy.com

        You can create virtual cards linked to your bank account and the transaction data is masked when processed by you bank. All my bank transactions show up as NSA Gift Shop. My bank doesn’t know where I’m spending my money. Yes you have to trust privacy.com

          Yeah i guess it’s too much to ask for open source for this. Privacy.com actually looks like a good option. I will check it out. Thank you.

        What about just wire transfer? Everything goes through your bank anyway. That’s what I’ve replaced PayPal with a while ago.

          Thanks! That had not occured to me. The purchases i would use it for would generally be small amounts, so i wonder if that would be feasible.

    If your use case is illegal and requires anonymity, digital money transactions are dangerous due to the US law requirements, even if the system is FOSS. Use cash or cryptocurrency with good opsec in such cases.
