There are porn companies that had to switch banks multiple times in Europe. There are also banks in Europe blocking incoming transfers from company names which have been flagged for porn.
I'm not saying it's right, but that's how it is.
It also depends on the transaction volume. It's easy to fly under the radar with a small amount, but if you're doing a lot of international transactions, you can get more attention.
The situation is not horrible, all I'm saying is that banks generally do not like porn (the bank clerk might, but the risk management doesn't), so it's not worth talking about it if you don't need to.

A big key when it comes to banking and porn is to do the following:
1. Name your company something mainstream generic, like InternetMarketing LLC.
2. Create a mainstream company site that has zero mention of Adult. Populate it with internet marketing and SEO terms to make it more legit.
3. Make sure your payouts are listed under your generic company name NOT your personal name.
These steps help greatly but if you are receiving funds from companies that do not follow these simple guidelines then you could be flagged so do your due diligence and make sure every company that pays you does so in your generic company name.
