Protect Queer Creators and Sex Workers - Tell Payment Processors to STOP

Get involved - here are emails, phone numbers, petitions to use and tell payment processing companies that their policies threaten the livelihoods and safe spaces of queer creators and sex workers.

IMPORTANT

THE BEST WAY TO HELP IS BY CALLING - it's where these companies will feel the pressure the most!

Wherever you vocalize your frustrations and concerns, be polite and chill when discussing in customer service lines or email inquiries. Do not harass or threaten individuals and workers. Please.

If you're a Sex Worker, please avoid directly contacting the companies in question, as exposing details about your shop / services could result in them being deactivated by payment processors in question, especially PayPal and Stripe. Stay safe! We've been using / would recommend following Dieselbrain's cheatsheet for scripts, talking points, and a general idea of where to concentrate our collective efforts.

Phone Numbers

If you experience verbal abuse from the agent in the call, we recommend following this script outlined here.

When contacting Mastercard, do not let them direct you to their Concierge service.

When contacting Visa, you may be asked to hang up and send an inquiry through an email instead. Continue calling back and escalating the situation (politely) to talk to a supervisor. You can still email, but there's a clear intent from companies to filter out the wave of complaints by having it be sent to an email instead.

A lot of these companies have their own branches / phone lines depending on different regions. If your region is not covered here, we highly recommend searching for contact information related to your region, which can often be done by searching on language-specific websites.
