Business I need a business bank account solution for an adult website - GoFuckYourself.com

This is my first website so I am a noob at this, please help me

Hi, I keep getting declined when applying for business bank accounts when I select 'adult entertainment' as the industry. I am looking for a business bank account that is adult friendly. My website is almost finished, it's an 18+ only website, and it's a marketplace where buyers (men) and sellers (women) can message each other. Sellers pay a subscription fee to sell on the site. The sellers sell things such as used lingerie, videos, pics, etc.

I registered an LLC in Virginia. I am looking for bank recommendations, I've applied to Mercury first but when I selected adult entertainment, it auto denied me. So I resubmitted a new application with a different industry selected, but I'm waiting on the application, which I assume will be declined.

I need a business bank account in order to apply for a payment processor to accept visa and mastercard cards, I'll be using PaymentCloud most likely as the payment processor. Help please. Also, if it matters, I live abroad in Asia as an expat so I can only apply online (yes I'm a US citizen).

Humboldt merchant account does high risk:

https://www.hbms.com/

Then you need someone like Mobius to connect your site to the bank:

https://mobiuspay.com/

or go the easier route and use CCBill:

Why the heck would you select "adult entertainment"?

#1 Name your company something SUPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR GENERIC like AR Marketing LLC.

I mean go as absolutely un-adult as you can get.

Then when they ask what you do, be honest, say you are in marketing. You don't have to say that what are you are marketing is vaginas and boobies.

Never ever ever ever admit you are in the adult industry. Internet marketing. Ibfluencer marketing. Social Media marketing. Sure. But leave the "adult" out of it.
