What bank do you bank with that hasn't screwed you like some banks have to porn folk? - GoFuckYourself.com

lexr · 11-22-2003, 09:18 PM

So we all have or at least know someone who's had their business checking account fucked over by a bank once the bank found out that their business is a porn business. I personally have dealt with the "Here's a cashier's check of your entire account balance. We don't want your company's business anymore."

I'm really curious about this.. do some banks have a bias against a legitimate adult business?

ChumpChange · 11-22-2003, 09:20 PM

doober · 11-22-2003, 10:11 PM

any bank that hands you your money and tells you to get out doesnt deserve your cash....banks are a bunch of licensed organised thieves..who are they to judge?

Lonny · 11-22-2003, 10:12 PM

missionvalleybank in my area. BofA droped me as a customer since I deal with porn.

BRISK · 11-22-2003, 10:15 PM

How are these banks finding out that you work in porn? Are you telling them?

They actually took the time to investigate what Ox Ideas was?

It never ceases to amaze me how fucked up the world can be. How DARE they discriminate against a perfectly legal and legitimate business.

Call me a litigious american prick, but that would be lawsuit city for me.

There is probably something in their terms when you open an account that says something about them being able to terminate your account at any time, and that by signing that little dotted line, you agreed to this.

I think there's more to these stories than just "I'm in the porn business, so they stopped doing business with me". I don't think they care where the money comes from. As long as it's legal. Even then, they might not care.

A dollar is a dollar. No matter where it comes from.

lexr · 11-22-2003, 10:58 PM

Bank One dropped me.

And yeah, they flat out told me that they did not want to be associated with the porn industry. Which is kind of stupid really because Bank One is so huge that there's no doubt that lots and lots of porn companies use them.

The account was always in good standing.

They didn't close my personal account, just the business one. Which is extremely odd.

This was three years ago, though. And it could've been just the manager of the particular branch I bank with. I'm sure I could've just opened another account at another Bank One branch without any trouble - or even online.

Friendly conversation with a banker.. they asked, I told them the nature of my profession. Didn't think twice about it.

After the incident I just figured the bank manager was ultra-conversative and anti-porn or something.

gornyhuy · 11-22-2003, 11:03 PM

Don't say "smut peddler" when they ask what you do, just say "I'm in internet affiliate marketing." or "eCommerce sales and consulting" or some euphamism.

It could of been for any one of my past checks,
its just weired I went to make a deposit on a thursday one day,
then I received a check from a different sponser a few day later only to find out my account
was closed. The girl behind the window told me I need to call customer service on the
matter. I then walked back home called them up and they told me that my account was closed "with no reason why"
I did receive a cashiers check fed exed to me overnight for the full amount of what my balance
was. Just so everyone here knows I was with the sun valley branch located on sunland blvd.
I did have a Checking & Savings account with them for 12 years.
I say fuck that branch and dont do business with them.
What gets me I still receive a bank statement from them every month.

bank of america let silvercash go because they didn't want to handle a porn account but topbucks uses b of a with no problem. as i recall, silvercash took their business to wells fargo, who had no problems handling a legal busines who makes money.

perhaps it is a regional thing. b of a's consider each state independent of each other.

Gemini · 11-22-2003, 11:18 PM

No one thought to call the Feds?? Uhhh they have FICA and are Fed controlled... oops. They can get all sorts of things yanked for that sort of behavior. I've heard of banks pulling all sorts of things on people but the minute the Bank Controllers and Examiners walk in, its amazing how nice a bank can get.
