The bank might not care.  The IRS probably does and would insist on
knowing about transfers from bank accounts to anon debit cards.

BL> you don't lose the card how can someone use your account?

Just like with real cash.  Possession is ownership.  Digital cash
involves crypto and, I assume, some type of personal ID?
