I heard Wells Fargo was the place, I have heard they had no issues with adult business, but I was in a local branch opening a checking account and was asked what kind of business it was. I was honest, and the bank employee told me they'd just had a meeting where they were told they wouldn't be doing business with any adult companies, closing existing accounts and not opening new ones.

I said "well, what if I just say it's online retail sales" he was like, "what kind?" I said, "it feels like I spend most of my day on customer service and tech support" and he was like, "OK, I will squeeze you in, but any sign of adult business, and you account will most likely be closed, wink, wink."

I did manage to get a checking account open, but I am more than a little perturbed that I can't have a simple banking account for a perfectly legal operation unless I am less than forthcoming regarding it's exact nature.

Where is everybody banking these days?
