PATTAYA, Thailand – Johannes Kanter, Chief Growth Officer of payment processing provider FASTO, is this week’s guest on the Adult Site Broker Talk podcast, the show announced today.
In his role as the company’s CGO, Kanter “runs marketing, content, partnerships, and business development for a payment company focused on adult and other high-risk verticals,” the podcast’s announcement explained.
“He spends most of his time on the side of the business mainstream marketers rarely encounter, the high-risk space,” the announcement added, noting that Kanter’s work “ spans SEO, content marketing, community building, podcasting, being at conferences and partner programs across the adult ecosystem.”
Kanter also hosts the Hard-on Business podcast, a series featuring “honest conversations with adult merchants about the realities of running a business in this industry, from compliance battles and platform shutdowns to growth, scaling, and the lessons nobody puts in a pitch deck.” He also publishes the “High-Risk Wrap,” described as “a weekly LinkedIn newsletter on regulatory and industry developments across adult, gambling, dating, and subscription billing.”
The podcast announcement described FASTO as “a payment processor built specifically for high-risk industries, with adult as a core specialty.”
“The team works with adult sites, cam platforms, creator marketplaces, dating, gambling, CBD, nutra, and other verticals that mainstream processors won’t touch,” the announcement explained. “What makes FASTO different is that they are focused on EU and UK merchants, with deep knowledge of the regulatory and banking landscape across both regions.”
FASTO also has “multiple banking relationships, so merchants don’t lose processing if one bank pulls back.”
“They specialize in adult merchants at every stage, from first-time founders to established operators processing serious volume,” the announcement added. “They work with MATCH-listed and previously terminated merchants where the underlying business is legitimate.
They offer card processing, open banking, and multi-currency setups tailored to each merchant with transparent fees.”
According to the announcement, FASTO is “happy to review any adult merchant’s current payment setup.”
“If (the merchant is) paying too much, stuck with bad terms, sitting on unnecessarily high rolling reserves, or just want a second opinion on whether their current processor is the right fit, the team will take a look and tell them honestly where they could do better,” the announcement explained. “In many cases FASTO can negotiate better rates and terms based on the merchant’s processing history.”
“Talking to Johannes was very informative on the subject of credit card payments,” said Bruce the adult site broker, host of the podcast and CEO of Adult Site Broker. “This is a good episode for anyone in the adult space.”
