Yes, of course :-) Writing a check would have been silly, and Goldage.net doesn't accept them for bank deposits, only for direct mailin. (They do accept bank wires, but not EFTs or Paypal.) I suppose I probably did use the ATM outside the bank to get the cash I carried in to deposit, but there were a dozen people in the bank line and this wasn't a really high-security transaction.
Pecunix does not require true name information - merely an email account at which you are capable of receiving mail - preferably PGP mail.
Goldage, which I used to buy the pecunix, doesn't use accounts, but they do need an email address for handling each transaction. For larger customers who handle a lot of volume, they can provide some frequent-customer information so you can get better rates and speed, but it's still not an account that stores value. I don't remember if I used the same account for the goldage and pecunix parts of the transaction, or if I used disposable accounts for one or both.
