Ironically, MindGeek (also a Canadian company and the parent company of PornHub) is still in business. One of our former sponsors banks with a credit union in Quebec and that very Credit Union turned us down too. Our takeaway was that you'll get an exception if you're doing millions in transactions and are a huge corporation, but the "little guys" can GTFO.

- azinman2 4y agoI'm surprised given Quebec is one of the porn capitals of the world. Given how much money flows through you'd think at this point the porn producers would just form their own credit union!
