Hello mbs1219-ga,
I have a few places that do credit card processing that may be able to
help you with the adult industry dilemma. I spoke with all of these
places on the phone, and verified with customer service that they
could meet your basic needs, which is processing for the adult
industry, both offline and online transactions.
First, Adult Host. They offer E-commerce solutions such as card
processing, merchant accounts, and online transactions. They also do
online checks and 900 line processing which would give your customers
some flexibility in their payment options for their services. Secure
Transactions are also available.
Since they are geared to the Adult Industry, it would help to
eliminate the problems associated with finding a merchant account what
will allow adult services and someone who will process them as well.
So, even though you just mentioned you were looking for a processing
bank, this may help your clients who are confused, or don?t have a
merchant account as well.

Adult Host Inc.

PSIGate may be another option. They offer?
?PSiGate can assist you in acquiring merchant accounts and offers
packaged credit card processing solutions in order to get your
business operating efficiently on the Internet. We provide the
necessary tools to facilitate the processing of electronic
transactions, and help you build your website into an e-commerce

When I spoke with them on the phone, they said they can handle
processing for SOME adult themed things, but it?s a case by case
situation based on what the business does, what location it?s in, etc.
However, it?s an option.

Skipjack is a processing gateway. They do not offer the Merchant
Accounts, only the processing services. They states to me on the phone
they would have no problem processing adult themed transactions, both
online of offline, as long as it was approved through the merchant
account as well.

A good place to look for processing services is online. I did a google
search for: companies that process credit cards that allow adult
business
And got a good result, even with the odd search term.

These sites may help you as well. They have lists of processing firms
with small descriptions.
