Buddy, your business is selling "privacy cards" and "virtual cards" which hide the identity of the person making the transaction.

It's a massive money laundering red flag, it's not at all surprising that Stripe doesn't want to deal with you.

I “hide my identity” daily when I make transactions, it’s called cash, guess that’s a red flag.

That's an interesting point, because Stripe also doesn't handle cash.

Something can be perfectly fine for people to do, and it can be just as fine for Stripe to not want to handle it. They can choose what types of businesses they want to allow on their network. It potentially creates opportunities for other service providers.
