Also, and everyone keep this in mind. Even though there is no KYC they are not 'anonymous' do you really think a place doing this is going to not reveal their records to the authorities if they show up with a warrant? They know where you shopped and from there it's just another breadcrumb on the trail to you.
I think most of us who are doing this are not looking for anonymous cards
per se but rather no-KYC debit cards.
I imagine that automated KYC verification software excludes thousands of people who otherwise have good IDs just because the software won't recognize them. For example, every wallet and service that's using Jumio for their KYC has a faulty provider because Jumio keeps rejecting all photos of my (US) passport.
So it could be that you actually have the selfie, the ID, the proof of address lined up but the automated KYC software doesn't accept one of them and you get messed up.
