There are many reasons to feel skeptical about the digital paper trail. Perhaps you’re married or in a relationship, or maybe you and your ex-partner still haven’t separated your financial lives. It may be that you don’t like the idea of your bank teller or financial advisor knowing about your online activities – whatever the reason, it’s your intention.
It’s totally natural to worry about how your dating app subscription will look on your bank statement, especially if that subscription service includes the word “adult” — people can be super judgey about this stuff.

Thankfully, AdultFriendFinder has anticipated this particular issue. So, if you decide to upgrade from a free membership to a paid membership – whether you opt for their Gold or VIP membership, which has its own set of features and benefits – your monthly billing statement will only appear as FFNHelp.com*FRIENDF.

It’s a relatively cryptic and harmless name that won’t arouse undue suspicion or unfair judgment (not that you should worry about it anyway – what you find on consensual dating sites is your business).
Keep in mind that AdultFriendFinder subscriptions are on “Auto Renewal” by default, so if you purchase a subscription and wish to cancel, you must actively disable the auto-renewal function. Otherwise you risk the mysterious FFNHelp.com*FRIENDF popping up on your statement month after month.
But what if even that is not enough for you?

If you’re particularly cautious – or particularly neurotic – you can bypass the bank statement altogether by paying with a gift card or cash, check or money order (only available to users in the US). You can also use e-wallet options like AirTM. UK residents can choose to pay by SMS.
If avoiding a digital paper trail is your top priority and privacy is paramount, you would be better off using these payment options and not handing over your credit card details in the beginning. Whatever you choose, AFF is protecting your anonymity.
