Chase Bank has a long history of shutting down the accounts of people who work in the adult industry-- even in the legal aspects of the adult industry.
Amazing. Even a post on a bank and the bank gets trashed. ECCIE has just become an amazing site to bash anything , everything, and everybody. WTF
Just my point of view but I love Chase. I walk into my branch location. They know my name. Everyone says hello and uses my name. They ask how they can help me today. Etc.
So, from me.....GO CHASE!
Now you all have new meat and can bash me for awhile. So entertaining.
Chase was wonderful to me for a number of years... then they decided they didn't like me working in the adult industry and they opted to close my account. Mind you, at the time it was only my paychecks from webcamming that I was depositing, so I was fully operating 100% within the law.
They've opted to close a number of accounts of people who work in the adult industry... from phone sex to webcammers to porn stars.
So no.. not bashing-- but I would NOT recommend Chase to a person who works in the sex industry.
It's not just Chase, and it's not just the adult industry. Google "Operation Choke Point."
From https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.0f09b33ef516
The general outline is the DOJ and bank regulators are putting the screws to banks and other third-party payment processors to refuse banking services to companies and industries that are deemed to pose a “reputation risk” to the bank. Most controversially, the list of dubious industries is populated by enterprises that are entirely, or at least generally, legal. Tom Blumer’s extremely informative post summarizing what is known to date about Operation Choke Point reproduces the list, which includes things such as ammunition sales, escort services, get-quick-rich schemes, on-line gambling, “racist materials” and payday loans. Quite obviously, some of these things are not like the other; moreover, just because there are some bad apples within a legal industry doesn’t justify effectively destroying a legal industry through secret executive fiat.
