Is having your literal banking info not enough to prove you're over 18?

Yeh, why not make billing able to carry ages verification?
Banks have to verify their customers. They (mostly) have a history of handling data well, it's in their interest/requirement to continue doing that.
The banking sector is well regulated compared to software/startups.

That can remove a large amount of service providers suddenly needing age verification. Just rely on the service purchase to verify it
