Does banq do anything to protect my privacy?

At banq, user privacy is at the heart of everything we do — privacy by design. 

Our users aren't searchable, nor are your account names searchable. We never buy, sell or trade any user information to anyone. The only information you must share with someone who you're doing business with is your account name, which you create and can edit. banq will never reveal your real name. 

However, we won't stop you from using your real name as an account name when setting up your account. Just be aware who you're paying from that account, as the account name will appear in the transaction detail.
