Once confined to specialty stores in back alleys, the internet has brought adult products and services to every home. Increased access to sex-related content and growing awareness about sexual wellness are contributing to the growth of the adult industry. While exact values are hard to find, the American adult entertainment industry alone generates $15 billion a year.
Although a very lucrative market, it’s difficult to run a successful business in the adult industry.
Most banks and payment processors refuse to offer adult merchant accounts because they regard you as a high-risk business. Without a merchant account, you can’t process debit and credit card payments, severely restricting your sales opportunities.

Despite growing acceptance of sex-related products/services by mainstream culture, there’s still some stigma attached to the adult industry. An unfavorable reputation is not the only reason why banks deny you an adult merchant account. A combination of factors that range from legal restrictions to consumer behavior makes this industry too risky to work with.
Here are the most common reasons why merchants struggle to find an adult payment processor:
