Over the last few months several signs have started showing that to me indicate that a possible shift is going on in the world of online processing.
Some Banks are stopping service with epassporte because of lack of fraud controls.
Some Banks are stopping service with Western Union because of online fraud.
Conversions of adult traffic is tougher. This seems to be spread among several processors. More declines seem to be occuring when consumers attempt to register for website access... and some of them are just caught up in filters that should not be catching them... because of their IP block, or country, or just demographic fraud probabilities...
Some processors are now saying that some credit card organizations are now requiring membership sites to notify customers that if they click on a link that leads outside the website, that the customer has to be presented with a prompt box telling him he is leaving the membership website, and it must specify that the customer is leaving the site and the url it will be going to.
Is online processing going through changes, mandated by big brother banks and credit card organizations?
I know many of you will always say conversions are good in public forums, but having sampled several different websites with friends in various parts of the industry across multiple niches, product sites, and even things like AEN's and PPS Sponsors, they all seem to be seeing the same things.. an overall tightening...
Is there a tightening going on?
Are new credit card regulations likely from the credit card organizations to make it harder to do business in adult online transactions?
