hello everyone, i run an adult classifieds site (i formally offer advertising space on my site) my site is aimed at european customers. currently we only accept bank transfers but we would like to put the option to pay by card. the problem is that we are a llc registered in the united states. The problem is that since I have this type of site (adult ads), that I am an LLC, with the ubo not in the us ( the ubo live in Brazil, but has an Italian passport), and that I work with a European audience, well these 3 elements together are not favorable to be accepted by classic processors. despite having a turnover of 80k usd per month, my chargeback rate, 0.037 % in the last 6 months (all provable) I can't find any processor that suits my purpose I have tried some of the payment processors proposed here on the forum including Instabill no becausethe ubo don't live in the USa Emerchatpay no because I'm USA society PaymentCloud no escort High Risk Pay tell that can't support my business zenpayments don't accept payment processors in Europe verotel: no because i' m in a us company I think the best thing to do is to open something in Europe, so that I can use any payment processor like my competitors do in Europe (I have already checked the payment processors that most escort ad sites use in Europe and practically all of them do not work with US companies) The problem is that you will run into a lot of bureaucracy, but I don't think I have any other solutions. At this point my questions are 2: 1) Does anyone have any idea of a payment processor that can accept US companies and process payments in euros? 2) What could be the best form of company to open in Europe with the least bureaucracy possible? Thanks everyone Last edited: Jan 19, 2025

sure, but I evaluate all the options, because I would like to have more possibilities the 4/5 payment processors of escort sites in Europe accept on condition that you are in Europe.
so i would like to avoid putting all eggs in one basket, and open in england only for emerchatpay, since if one day i had some kind of problem with them and i had to switch to another processor it could be more difficult since the company is in england. so for this i would like to try to open in some country where most of the processors accept so that if i have problems with one i can already hire another.

there is no EU processor or European processor that has any problems to place a UK LTD if the business fits.
