Thanks Kris.... was just wondering what the big deal is with processing in Canada. From past history it appears banks have had a problem with high risk - and had some crap thrown at them, tho not particularly by the adult biz.

Believe the global banking regions own companies like VISA which is kinda handy in a way - if a banking region does not like VISA ideas, - that horse don't run. (Example of that was the proposal to charge $700 something where only the US accepted that kind offer and a DNA test - and was rejected by all other global banking regions.)

Only my - think any serious webmaster really needs to be "global" and structure their biz affairs to best advantage - and make provision for having processing ability in whatever regions are suitable. The EU is an obvious candidate, simply because there are several processors in that region. It's only my rant again.. but prefer to see a processor with provision within their biz model to cover webmaster funds should the TPP encounter problems. The only two processors who have such a model are in the EU - the rest all offer free drinks at conventions as a confidence booster and convey the impression of stability/security, - but offer no security.

Notice the same processing problem appears with Aussie webmasters (tho not sure it's as bad as Canada?). Again, the solution may be - go global.
