Whatever it is IBill, CCbill, Epoch, Jettis or another processor, then I really do not think our problems are with the processors... The real problem is that we are still sending 90% of our memberships to either VISA or MC. These two are the once making all the rule changes, issuing fines out of the blue, and keeping paysite owners up at night...
If processors just would start to look at other billing options, then within 6-12 months we could see VISA & MC transactions cut down to 50% or less of the total transactions, and it will be because of MORE transactions... not because of VISA&MC turning off the adult processors.
We did some testing with 2 local processors in Germany and in the UK, using their own national prefered billing options and price models... Our income from these 2 countries after 3 months were almost 200% better then sending them to one of the current big processors... and the best part not a singel VISA or MC transaction!
If one these big processor do not soon start to work on getting MORE billing options into their systems, then I really think that 1 year from now, someone new will have entered the scene and taken the place as the main processor for alot of paysites...
Local billing options do already excist in most of the countries buying adult subscriptions... so what is holding the big processors back?
