Epoch Targets Several Large Affiliate Networks

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — In the past six months several large adult affiliate networks have received termination notices from Epoch, which stated it would cease providing processing services to the companies within 24 hours.

The notices, learned from an anonymous source, were in response to egregious incidences where a number of companies violated terms. The companies were characterized as large affiliate networks but not identified.

"Epoch does not publicly discuss details about specific clients," Rand Pate, Epoch's director of communications, told XBIZ. "However, anyone who has processed with Epoch knows that we always act in the best interest of our clients over the long-term. Certainly, we never turn away good business since we only make money by processing our clients' transactions.

"We are the industry's oldest billing company, and we have remained an industry leader for over thirteen years because we offer high throughput, pioneer technological innovations and treat consumers fairly. Those cornerstones of our business will not change regardless of the short-term approaches other companies may take, especially if their approaches damage the industry or are unfair to consumers.

"Because we always think about how to make the most money for our clients today, and how to ensure they remain successful tomorrow, you can rest assured that your processing with Epoch is rock solid. "
