As far as (1) anonymity, circle pay and cash app seem to cover it then. As far as (2) being adult friendly

Hi Lady Frog

I spoke to Circle Pay in their UK offices around April 2017…. However…. (since writing the above on the 18th) I am now not so sure if I would recommend them, basically if you Google ‘circle pay terms and conditions’ – you will find their User Agreement.

Under the EEA (agreement) heading it states info below (Prohibited Payments) - you will see one of the prohibited payments states “adult content”  (emboldened below for ease of reference) – this wasn’t on their website previously (about 18 months ago when I last looked), I guess before posting my recent response I should have looked at it again, however the reference to “adult content” is very generic.

That said, what I would say is this… a few of the ladies on here seem to advocate Cash App, (I can’t use it on my phone as I think for Android it only accepts operating system of 5.0 and above, annoyingly mine is lower).

From what I’ve read on here it appears that this App is run very similar to Circle Pay, in term of anonymity that is (I don’t know about the daily/yearly cash amounts etc), there is even one person on here “someonesomewhere” who stated they know Cash App doesn’t have a problem with adult work/workers as she connected with the Cash App people through her (adult) work Twitter account, so at least they appear adult friendly.

P.S.

Re who Cash App are (who are owned by Square), they are from what I’ve read on here and online a US company but in April of this year expanded/launched the use of their service in the UK.

EXTRACT FROM CIRCLE PAY’S WEBSITE:

17. Prohibited Payments

We do not provide Services or support transactions which involve:

•   any Restricted Persons or persons or entities located in Restricted Territories (as each term is defined in Section 30);
•   weapons of any kind, including but not limited to firearms, ammunition, knives, or related accessories;
•   controlled substances including but not limited to narcotics, prescription drugs, steroids, or related paraphernalia or accessories;
•   gambling activities including but not limited to sports betting, casino games, horse racing, dog racing, lotteries, games of chance, sweepstakes, games of skill that may be classified as gambling (i.e. poker), or other activities that facilitate any of the foregoing;
We understand that gambling may be legal in your jurisdiction, but unfortunately we cannot allow you to use Circle in connection with these activities.
•   financial crime, money-laundering or terrorist financing;
•   any sort of Ponzi scheme, pyramid scheme, or multi-level marketing program;
•   goods or services that infringe or violate any copyright, trademark, or proprietary rights under the laws of any jurisdiction or otherwise constitute counterfeit goods;

•   court ordered payments, structured settlements, tax payments, or tax settlements;
•   the sale of money orders or cashier’s checks or any money transmitter activity;
In the event that Circle learns that you are making any such prohibited payments, Circle may suspend or terminate your Circle Account.

Using Circle to send £20 to one friend on behalf of another friend is okay, but if you are frequently accepting funds from people to sd on their behalf, you might be violating money transmission laws - so we can’t allow that.

•   lottery contracts, layaway systems, or anuities;
•   counterfeit goods, including but not limited to fake or “novelty” IDs;
•   purchasing goods from Tor hidden service markets or “Darknet” markets, or any other service or website that acts as a marketplace for illegal goods (even though such marketplace might also sell legal goods);
•   adult content; or
•   any other matters which we communicate to you that are unacceptable from time to time and which, for example, may be restricted by our and your payment partners.

I stand corrected. So hopefully Cash App just choose to be more tolerant!

Will be be having a go with that.

In addition to the BBC article about bank transfers I have just read a post on moneysavingexpert that says the same - when you make transfers you will have to provide acc no, sort code, and now acc name, and after the name is checked you will be told one of three options... the name matches, it's nearly right (you've spelled it wrong etc.), or it's fully wrong.

This article also says that, even if the name you give does not match, if you acknowledge that you can choose to make the payment anyway at your own risk? So this might mean that bank transfers will still be an option. Although of course it's a case of waiting to see how it plays out... it could be that, if you warn people paying you that the name will not match, they can just pay you anyway, and the whole thing passes without incident. Or it could be that if you do this multiple times your bank will be ringing you up accusing you of criminal activities or freezing your account or something. what fun.

Can we please lay off the URLs? We're not here to send traffic to other sites and I doubt anybody here is incapable of summarising something they've seen; I've been away over the weekend but if I'd noticed somebody had started posting press ones it wohld have been removed.

Nobody should need to go onto a third party/non sex work site in order to follow what's happening in a thread here. That includes me.
