Like BigFurry said, this is incorrect. Just read the terms.
Checks in Europe are outdated. A lot (if not almost all) European banks don't accept checks anymore.
About porn and banking:
Take for example fintech bank N26 located in Germany.

They probably won't close your account immediately, but it may be a matter of time and luck. But you could dispute that you don't provide pornography as a product or service, but you are just providing affiliate marketing services in which your customer (sponsor) may use pornography as content.
But fortunately, there are also banks that do accept porn. Checks and getting a USD bank account are the real issue in this big European CCBill problem.
