§01 · Industry challenges

The barriers
we've learned to navigate.

  1. 01

    Subscription Billing & Chargeback Risk

    Dating platforms face above-average chargeback rates — users forget they subscribed, dispute charges, or claim fraud after unsuccessful matches. Banks see this pattern as high-risk without understanding the business model.

  2. 02

    Age Verification Obligations

    Regulators in the UK and EU increasingly require dating platforms to implement robust age verification systems. Banks want documented evidence of AV compliance before onboarding dating services.

  3. 03

    Niche Dating Categorisation

    Banks often treat niche dating platforms — adult dating, sugar dating, LGBTQ+ communities — identically to explicit adult content businesses, applying far stricter criteria than the actual risk warrants.

  4. 04

    International Payment Processing

    Dating platforms attract global user bases but struggle to find banks that support multi-currency subscription billing, particularly for markets in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

§02 · Our approach

Banks that actually
understand your business.

  1. 01

    Dating-Aware Banking Partners

    Our network includes banks that distinguish between dating apps and adult content platforms — applying appropriate risk assessments rather than blanket adult industry treatment.

  2. 02

    Subscription Billing Infrastructure

    We connect you to banks and payment processors experienced with recurring subscription models, reducing chargeback impact and ensuring payment continuity for your users.

  3. 03

    Niche Dating Platform Support

    Whether you operate a mainstream dating app or a niche platform, we match you to banking partners whose risk appetite aligns with your specific audience and content policy.

  4. 04

    Multi-Currency Global Infrastructure

    Access EUR, GBP, USD, and emerging market currencies with SEPA/SWIFT and local payment rails — infrastructure that supports your global user acquisition strategy.

We run a niche dating platform and were told by multiple banks we were too close to adult content. GetBanked found us a banking partner that understood the distinction immediately.
