The challenge

Why adult & dating is considered high-risk.

Acquiring banks label this vertical high-risk for a few specific reasons, then decline good businesses by default. Understanding why is the first step to getting approved.

  • Reputational caution: schemes and banks restrict appetite for adult MCCs.
  • Chargeback exposure: subscriptions and discretion-driven disputes raise ratios.
  • Compliance burden: age verification and content moderation must be enforced.

Most processors refuse adult outright.

Subscription chargebacks

Recurring billing draws disputes and friendly fraud.
