      I was seriously planning to reinstate my Verotel account very soon for 500 Euros, but if they want my passport now, no way Jose!

      Thanks for the heads-up SilentKnight
      Hopefully this thread will help dissuade others from considering processors that demand ID such as passports.

      I recall several years ago Verotel hit us with a slew of chargebacks all at once - they claimed they hadn't been keeping track of a bunch that eminated from Europe. We had no way of verifying or appealing and wound up with revenue deductions that went on for ages. We got past that - but I never forgave Verotel for that shit at the time.

      Now this - the last straw.

      I'd enjoy a Verotel rep dropping into the thread and attempting justification for requiring copies of my passport - just to process for us.

        Social security numbers, copies of driver's licenses, passports - fuck that shit. Nobody needs that much information, especially faceless people across the ocean.
        Its how normal business is done on a day to day basis. Do you think because you are in porn you get to hide out anonymously and try not to pay taxes?

          Name - Sure

          Business Name - Sure

          Bank Account Information - Sure

          Tax ID Number - Sure

          Owner's Social Security Number - Maybe

          Copies of Driver's Licenses and Passport - Nope

          Why does anyone need photo ID?

            What I find ironic is that it is the smaller players who get stuck paying but everybody knows it's always been the larger players who have been responsible for the scumbag shit in our industry for years. You know banging cards, hidden cross sales, chargeback roulette. It's not the little guys you see complaining who did all that crap. It's the big scumbags who in some cases are still around today and sitting pretty. These are the people who helped to bring about all the "compliance fees" for "regulation" we see now. And shit still happens. Remember agamegirlz.com just a few months ago?

            You don't like my posts? Put me on ignore or fuck right off. I'll say what I want.

              You won't be able to get any high risk processing (adult) without sending in your ID and all you personal details. These are requirements by the bank and Visa/Master.

                    I am not happy about it either, but it's basically a 'cost of doing business' in this new anti-terror bullshit era. Merchant accounts, banks, whatever all now ask you a shitload of fucking questions, and require docs. Whether for anti-terromism or proof of citizenship. That being said..... Remember, this is what many Americans wanted, begged, and asked for.... the government to protect them from the boogie man. This is the end result of that slippery slope.

                    They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

                        Beneficial owner. It all comes down to % of stock you own. Lots of places require for anyone holding more than 15% of stock.

                                so you expect a processor to process thousands of dollars for you without knowing whom they are processing for? Only reason you're hiding behind not providing a passport is because you are hiding, a criminal, a privacy freak, or a really wierd reason. would seem any bank or processor would want to know whom they are processing payments for regardless.
