Scaling an Adult Content Platform with Discreet Offshore Processing
Vibe Studios, a Manila-based adult content platform, faced a significant revenue loss of 30% when their third payment processor suddenly killed the partnership. “Banks put us in the same category as crooks,” told their CEO. The solution was brought by the Trusted Merchant Services: an offshore merchant account. This account had utopic billing descriptors and a 99% acceptance rate on auto-renewals. Vibe Studios came back online within a week, but this time they had a global reach. The European and North American subscribers of the said company surpassed 250% in half a year, while the chargebacks were reduced which resulted in a record low of 0.8%.
Why Adult Entertainment Needs Specialized Offshore Solutions
The consequences of the decision were beyond mere numbers. Having stable payments helped Vibe Studios to build the creator payout system, thus attracting the highest quality talent. Their average creator earnings soared 65%, establishing their reputation as a platform that “really pays.”
Conclusion
The success of Vibe Studios is proof that the industry is wrongly stigmatized as “too risky” by professionals. Offshore solutions provided by Trusted Merchant Services are not only bypassing the bias but are making a competitive advantage of it as well. The message here is that for adult platforms, crypto sites, and other disfavored businesses, tradition finance is the one closing the doors while the offshore gateways are the ones widening the perspective.
