I want to change my Username to send money to another person without him knowing my REAL name. I saw it is possible to have but the (@) and a fantasy Business but I cant find the option to change that.

Hi @nalyu,
Thank you for joining the community forum and for your post!
A personal account requires your real name. A business account can be opened in the name of an existing business, and the associated bank account would also have to be in the name of that business. Sending payments will always display your name or the name of your business, and fake names are not permitted.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Olivia
