Unfortunately, when looking for credit card processing for your adult entertainment business, you may hit a snag: traditional providers may inform you repeatedly that they don’t work with the sector you’re a part of. In all honesty, the adult entertainment industry does come with reputational risk and chargeback issues traditional financial institutions do not wish to be linked to.
So, what’s next? Your business still needs credit card processing services. While organizational policy typically prohibits banks from accepting any business from your industry, there is a group of lenders that specialize in working with companies like yours. And you don’t have to worry about having your merchant account shutdown down the road, halting your revenue immediately.
Why Work with a High Risk Specialist?
The answer is to partner with a high risk specialist like EMerchantBroker. Our team specializes in merchant accounts and services for adult businesses, including adult entertainment merchant accounts and adult payment gateway. Your business can secure the merchant account it needs to safely process customer’s transactions, access a variety of secure payment gateways, enjoy efficient processing and take advantage of chargeback protection programs.
- No Application Fees
- Competitive rates
- No VISA/MasterCard Required
- Secure Payment Gateway
While some adult merchants opt to use an online payment system provider like PayPal or Square, it often ends badly. These companies do accept adult business; later on when they get to the underwriting phase (these companies wait to do underwriting until after a business starts accepting credit cards) they suddenly notify the business that they can’t work with adult merchants. All processing comes to a screeching halt and the account and money is frozen for six months.
