Testimonials from Adult Industry Workers on the Need for Billing and Payment Solutions

"I have decided to come forward because I got so tired of seeing all my friends and colleagues in the industry, suffering from similar discrimination."

"One of Australia's big four banks NAB – which markets itself as the bank for business – does accept applications from sex workers but has a blanket policy against escort agencies and brothels."

"Ms Kenworthy "blames the government first and foremost" for this "horrendous" situation, and believes it is on policymakers to make it easier for sex industry professionals and financial service providers to do business together."

"They've got the deposit, they've got tax paid on sex income, and the bank's not recognising the sex income as legitimate income."

"Mr Roberts was honest with Mint during this process and still recalls the phone conversation where he told one of the company's hotline professionals that he was self-employed as a sex worker. There was 10 seconds of silence then the operator hung up on him."
