Apple Cash anonymous ?

Is there a way that I can accept an Apple Cash payment without giving out any of my information? I don’t want strangers having my Apple email (it’s my first and last name) and I don’t want them having my phone number ? How do I make it anonymous?

Banks and most governments don’t want transactions >secret.< In fact there are financial regulations that don’t permit the type of secrecy you want. Banks are required to Know Your Customer and in situations like you describe, Know Your Customers Customer. The intent of these KYC laws are to help prevent fraud, terrorism, money laundering and drug trafficking.
