    What U.S. banks are taking Adult Merchant Accounts?

    I'm trying to compile a list of banks that are accepting adult merchant accounts. I know the following exist ...


    Humbolt Bank
    National Bank of Redwoods
    Cardservice International


    I know the First Bank of Beverly Hills is not accepting them anymore. (It's been years since they did from what I remember).


    Anybody know anybody else? I'm NOT looking for sponsored merchant stuff, just banks that I can hook up with directly so I can do my own gateway processing.

    I'm not sure why you're posting this here. The wise thing to do would be to go with a gateway service and they can tell you who's issuing what. The IPSPs Paycom, Jettis, CCBill, Ibill can all tell you what you're looking for, and wouldn't it be easier to deal with someone you know already
    ?

          good luck.......last week was an "interesting" week in US high-risk banking.

          You may wish to think about incorporating in other areas just in case for the future.

                    retrievals and chargebacks say first data on the envelopes. So there def. a relationship.

                      First Data is the backend processor for Humboldt merchant accounts. In addition to processing transactions to intercahnge most backend processors also process the inbound chargebacks for the banks merchants. It is during this process that First Data mails the chargeback notification to you the merchant......First Data envelopes

                        Actually, NO. IPSP's are truly not interested in providing gateway service anymore, if they ever did. When-ever I get a sales rep on the phone and ask about their gateway service, they either ask uninterested or try to talk you into their "great" service of a "sponsored merchant". A perfect example is how come vscrub doesn't exist anymore? I suppose that CCBILL decided not to confuse their clients anymore by actually gateway service for a whole lot less fees.

                        Also, I have spoken with the majority of the IPSP's and the only two names I've gotten are Bank of Redwoods and Card Service Intl.

                        Thus, I posted here.

                          Interesting. We must be talking about different ipsp's here. If you want to drop me an email I'd be glad to put you in touch with a couple different people that would be very helpful. You can use [email protected] if you wish.
