I am starting a website that features adult content and services, and I was wondering what would be a good, reliable, and safe merchant account provider on the Internet? I have heard many stories of others like me who have been rejected outright, or worse, have been misled by merchant providers with hidden fees, etc.
As broker for multiple processors, I have found both PayNova and Process America to be reputable processors for adult. Most processors that do not specialize in high risk will turn down adult related sites. However, there are processors that deal only in High Risk. While it is true that adult sites pay higher transaction fees than retail storefronts, there are ways to you can keep your fees at a minimum and be in the lower bracket. You can inquire by following the sourced links below.
I would recommend Adult Merchant Pay. I have tried using this adult merchant account provider and i like the results. I think its a young merchant account company catering to adult content sites – but their support and sales unit responded to my inquiry within the the day. They offered some rebates which i did not understand at first but (Zara, a rep) thankfully, she was patient enough to explain how i can benefit from the said feature. Yesterday ( second day ), they emailed me on how else they can best help – processing my account will take a week or less provided i have the necessary documents.
