IBill

IBill

iBill was an internet billing company, founded in 1997 and known in the early 2000's as a top credit card transaction aggregator for adult entertainment websites. It was acquired by InterCept in 2002 and subsequently purchased by Interactive Brand Development in January of 2005.

Problems

Soon after its acquisition by InterCept, MasterCard fined iBill $5.58 million due to the volume of chargebacks, while VISA raised the cost of processing adult entertainment transactions. In September 2004, iBill's contract with its upstream credit card processor, First Data expired, leaving it scrambling to find a new processor [http://www.forbes.com/home/ebusiness/2004/09/27/cz_sl_0927ibill.html] . In April 2005 the iBill offices in Deerfield, Florida were put up for lease, signalling the closure of at least part of the company.
