Island Payments offers payment processing solutions for merchants in the adult industry. Helping adult merchants set up with adult credit card processing can occassionaly prove to be a difficult and costly. This is usually the case because adult businesses are considered to be higher risk than other industries. In some instances, merchants will place other high risk businesses, such as debt collection, tobacco or pharmacy in their portfolio, but decline to include adult.
When a merchant opens up an adult merchant account through Island Payments, we take a look at the business itself and from there determine the best possible solution. Startup accounts will be able to be placed into our 3rd party payment system where we can help control risk while you build your business. Once you increase volume, we can move your business into your own merchant account.
