Founding Creator spots are limited. First 1,000 get fee-free banking for life.

The bank that will never abandon you.

Free Bank is the first banking platform built specifically for adult content creators — with a contractual guarantee we'll never close your account because of your industry.

🔒 Deposits FDIC insured via partner banks

We're not just building a bank. We're starting a fight.

Banks have been quietly debanking legal businesses for years. No warnings. No appeals. No accountability.

The OCC — the federal agency that oversees the biggest banks in America — found in 2025 that nine of the largest US banks maintained policies making “inappropriate distinctions” against customers based on lawful business activity. Adult entertainment was on every list.

Free Bank is building the financial infrastructure these creators deserve. And while we do it, we'll be in the room lobbying for legislation that makes debanking illegal. Funding legal challenges to the banks that do it. Publishing data. Making noise.

Your work is legal. Your income is real. The bank that tells you otherwise is wrong — and we intend to prove it.

63%

of adult creators have lost a bank account or financial tool due to their work.

The Problem

You built something real. And then the email arrived.

You’d been with your bank for years. You paid your taxes. You made more money than most people your age.

And then — no call, no warning, no appeal — you got the email.

“Your account type is no longer supported.”

Funds frozen. Bill autopays failing. Scrambling to tell your subscribers why payments stopped. Moving money through friends. Hoping the next bank doesn’t find out what you do.

This is called debanking. And it’s not an accident. It’s policy.

In 2024, $5.8 billion was paid to creators on OnlyFans alone. Every dollar of that income — legal, taxable, real — flows through accounts that can disappear overnight. Not because of fraud. Not because of crime. Because a compliance officer decided your job title made them uncomfortable.

You deserve better than that.

The Solution

Not a policy. A contract.

Other fintechs will quietly accept your signup today and quietly close your account next year. They don’t tell you this. They don’t have to.

Free Bank is different — structurally, not rhetorically.

We partner with sponsor banks who understand and accept what you do. We work with legal counsel to build account protection into the actual agreement between you and us. We’re on a defined path to becoming a fully licensed, independent bank — so your protection doesn’t depend on a third-party policy that can change without notice.

We’re not asking you to trust us. We’re building something you can point to in court.


Real business checking — no surprise closures

An account built for your business model, not one that tolerates it.

Industry-aware banking partners who know your business model

We work exclusively with sponsor banks that have explicitly agreed to serve adult creators.

Deposits split across multiple FDIC-insured institutions for added protection

Your money isn't concentrated in a single institution that can change its mind.

Contractual account protection — not just a terms of service clause

Your protection is written into the agreement. It can be pointed to in court.

Contractual Guarantee

A roadmap to full banking independence (no more sponsor bank dependency)

We're pursuing our own banking charter — so your security doesn't rely on a third-party policy forever.

Founder Story

Founder, Free Bank

I built this because you deserved better.

My dad was a banker. Not a Wall Street banker — a community banker. He spent his career helping develop the small Caribbean island he came from: getting money to the people who needed it, building the financial infrastructure that lets a community actually grow. He believed banking was a tool for lifting people up.

I grew up watching that. Banking as service. Banking as community.

And then I looked at what was happening to adult content creators — an industry generating billions of dollars in real, legal, taxable income — and saw the exact opposite. Not a tool for lifting people up. A door slammed in their faces, quietly, with no explanation, by institutions that decided their income didn't count.

I'm not a creator. I don't have a dramatic personal story about getting debanked. What I have is a straightforward read of a broken situation: here is a large, underserved community of real people doing legal work, and the banking system has decided to pretend they don't exist. That's wrong. And nobody with the resources to fix it was bothering to try.

So I decided to try.

The long-term vision isn't just a bank. It's what Silicon Valley Bank was for startups — except built right, and built to last. Banking, yes. But also mentorship, community, business resources, marketing support. A place that treats your content business like the real business it is, and helps you grow it into something bigger. A community that has your back.

We're early. We don't have all the answers yet. But we're serious — and we're building this in public, with you.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

We're in pre-launch — building infrastructure and securing banking partners. Waitlist members get first access when we're ready.

Yes. We partner with FDIC-insured sponsor banks. Your deposits are protected up to $250,000.

We're working with legal counsel to build account protection into the actual contract between Free Bank and each account holder. Not a policy. Not a terms of service. A contract. Details will be in the account agreement at launch.

Free Bank launches as a fintech platform using FDIC-insured sponsor banks — the same model Mercury and Brex use. Our long-term plan is to obtain a full banking charter (ILC) and become fully independent. That roadmap is public and we'll report progress on it.

Adult content creators first. We'll expand to cannabis, firearms, and other debanked industries over time.

The first 1,000 signups get founding member pricing (fee-free banking for life), early product access, and named recognition as a Free Bank Founding Creator on the site.

Mercury and Relay don't explicitly protect your industry. Many creators have been quietly removed from both. Free Bank is built from the ground up for this — with banking partners who know your business and legal agreements designed to protect you.

Sign up. If you're in the first 1,000, you're in automatically.
