Our verdict on Intimate Payments

Intimate Payments fits a US lingerie or adult products store, or a wholesaler, that wants to talk to someone who knows the trade over the phone. It covers the shop counter as well as the website.

A content site, cam platform or subscription business will find nothing aimed at it. Before you call, nothing tells you who holds the account or what it costs.

Which merchants Intimate Payments serves

Intimate Payments says it has helped the intimate apparel, product and service space for more than 25 years. Everything it describes belongs to retail: retailers, stores, terminals and POS systems.

Video, cams, memberships and recurring billing are never mentioned. A store selling intimate products in person or online falls within its stated scope. A content site should first ask whether it is accepted at all.

Intimate Payments services for wholesale, retail and online

For wholesalers, Intimate Payments offers direct gateway processing or CRM integration to take payments from their retailers. For stores, it supplies anything from a basic card terminal to a full POS system. For websites, it sets up online card acceptance.

None of the three services has a page of its own, and the “Learn more” links lead back to the home page. No terminal brand, gateway or compatible CRM is named.

Pricing, statement analysis and promotions

Intimate Payments publishes no rate, no fixed fee, no reserve and no payout schedule. Its pitch is a free analysis of your current merchant statement, with a cheaper offer in return. That statement shows your exact volumes and rates, so share it knowingly.

Two promotions run on every page: a draw for $200 in casino chips if you bring your statement to the ILS, and a $100 Visa gift card when a new account is activated.

Who runs Intimate Payments

No company name, address, license or partner bank is published. You reach it through the toll-free number 877-476-0570 or a contact form. Nothing says whether it processes payments itself or resells another provider’s accounts.

Its terms and privacy policy have read “coming soon” since November 2024. The site is built with GoDaddy’s website builder and has three pages. The domain has been registered since February 2009.

Intimate Payments vs Easy Pay Direct and FastoPayments

Easy Pay Direct publishes its standard rates, including 1.59% + $0.19 for card-present sales, and lists the adult sectors it takes, from adult toys to cam platforms. FastoPayments also supplies terminals to adult stores and strip clubs, from Estonia. A US store can compare Easy Pay Direct’s published rates before calling Intimate Payments.
