is this considered "high risk" for processing?

Would a job site catering to the adult industry be considered "high risk" by VISA standards?

I think that most responsible processors would require a business plan

Of course it's vague. It's a simple question though, would a job site... catering to production studios and adult employers... be considered high-risk according to VISA?

VISA requires the $750 fee for adult business, but is this considered an adult business?

They consider job sites in general high risk even without the adult component.

Why are job sites considered high risk?

Will Ibill process for a non-adult job site?

We do process for some job sites but we do review the application first. There have been a lot of "scam" job sites in the past. That is why Visa, the acquiring Banks and iBill would consider it high risk. That being said, there have been some very successful job sites that offer a great product.

What is considered high-risk?

There is an actual list which categories and MCC code. Merchant Category Code. Here is a list: http://www.mrsc.org/govdocs/P58mcc_codes.pdf. It may be outdated, best of to contact your acquiring bank for a current one. I believe the high-risk code for adult merchant accounts is 5967.
