First timer here. Have you considered using a unique Alias that converts the BTC address into a simple name? I know Syscoin offers an alias feature that does this. Instead of having to enter a long address code, you simply type your reserved Alias into the receive or send funds area - to avoid having a bank cancel/close your account if they tag the transaction as a BTC. Wow, I did a shit job of articulating that idea, but basically a way of masking the fact that it’s an alt coin or BTC transaction by making it appear as a standard account with standard banking information.

So far there haven’t been any reports about issues resp. rejected transactions etc. because of Bitcoin connection.

Ther is no BTC address visible to banks. The user need to add the trade ID as reference text but that is similar to many other IDs used in e-commerce.
