I've done a few SEPA trades back in the day and the answer is yes. It will be displayed on the beneficiary account together with your IBAN account number.

No, it's not anonymous. All your data (name, IBAN, SWIFT if I remember) are displayed. If you want to buy bitcoins anonymously, try LocalBitcoins.

This doesn't matter. All your info will be available to the beneficiary account and to the entity you are sending money to (exchange, person, etc..).

Nothing about the bank accounts is anonymous and also SEPA is just like any regular world wire transfer, juts that it gets there faster (nowadays very often the same day) and it's free.

how can any fiat transfer method be anonymous? we are here using bitcoin to preserve our privacy also, at least some of us

if you want anon transfer use bitcoin or monero which is even better

I don't really know about the problem, but I'll just wanna fix your word.
It's "anonymous" not "anonymouse" ;)

Not anonymous. I have also done it.

Anything that have some bank involved would not be totally anonymous.
