In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Adult Industry, the community is facing significant challenges with banking and payment processing. The recent withdrawal of services by major credit card companies from platforms such as Pornhub and the restrictions placed on OnlyFans highlight an ongoing issue of financial discrimination against adult industry professionals. Despite the legality of their work, these professionals often find themselves marginalized by the financial sector, with banks and payment processors refusing to offer their services.
To counteract this discrimination, a collective action day has been scheduled for September 1st, aiming to demand equal banking rights for all professionals within the Adult Industry. The community is called upon to participate in various ways:
- Creating and sharing videos to raise awareness (optional).
- Signing an online statement in solidarity against banking discrimination.
- Using a specific hashtag to amplify the message on social media.
- Attending physical or virtual protests to make their voices heard.
Additional resources and details for the day of action can be found at:

- http://SexWorkSignOn.com - To sign the statement and join the cause.
The discourse around this issue also touches on the broader implications of anonymity in activism within the community, the role of alternative payment options like Paxum and Cosmo, and the importance of a unified stance against discrimination. Verified sources and additional ways to support the initiative, including external links and social media, have been provided to ensure credibility and facilitate community involvement.
This concerted effort underscores the necessity of equal treatment for all professionals, advocating for the right to access financial services without bias or judgment based on the nature of their legal work.
