An Adult Merchant Account That Stays Open
Adult is legal but blacklisted by mainstream processors. SwissPay places adult content and subscription businesses with acquirers built for the category, with the rebill and chargeback tooling the model needs.
An adult merchant account is a payment account held with an acquiring bank that permits legal adult content and services, which Stripe, PayPal and Square prohibit. SwissPay places adult content, cam and subscription businesses with specialist acquirers, with discreet billing descriptors, rebill support and chargeback tooling, approved in about 48 hours.
Why adult businesses keep losing merchant accounts
Mainstream processors ban adult in their terms regardless of legality, so accounts get closed and funds held once a review lands. For a subscription model, that also breaks recurring revenue overnight.
A stable adult account means an acquirer that underwrites the category on purpose, with billing descriptors, rebills and chargeback controls suited to content and subscriptions.
What SwissPay provides for adult businesses
SwissPay places legal adult businesses with acquirers that underwrite the category, then supports the subscription model with tokenized rebills, discreet billing descriptors, and chargeback tooling.
