Empowering the Adult Industry with Reliable Payment Solutions
FastoPayments is heading back to Las Vegas this January for AVN 2026, the leading global expo for the adult entertainment and high-risk industries. As part of our Vegas Tour 2026, this event follows our attendance at Affiliate Summit West, marking two important opportunities to strengthen relationships and explore innovation across high-risk sectors.
Represented by Dennis E.R. Pedersen and Gerardo Martinez, the FastoPayments team will be on-site to meet creators, platforms, and studios looking for dependable and compliant payment processing partners. For us, AVN is more than an expo. It is where real conversations happen, where technology meets creativity, and where the adult industry continues to evolve.
Why AVN Matters to FastoPayments
The AVN Expo has grown far beyond its origins as a trade show. Today it serves as a central meeting point for adult businesses, content creators, affiliate networks, and service providers that keep the industry thriving. It attracts thousands of professionals every year who share one common goal, to make the adult economy smarter, safer, and more sustainable.
For FastoPayments, this event provides a platform to highlight the importance of strong financial infrastructure for high-risk merchants. Traditional financial institutions often limit or reject adult businesses, leaving many without the tools to grow. Our mission is to close that gap by delivering modern payment solutions that combine compliance, transparency, and global coverage.
We believe every creator, agency, and platform deserves the same quality of service as any mainstream business. By attending AVN 2026, we aim to engage with those driving the future of adult content, introduce them to better payment systems, and explore how tailored processing can unlock new growth opportunities.
What We’ll Be Focusing On at AVN 2026
Our discussions and meetings during AVN 2026 will focus on addressing the industry’s most common payment challenges and opportunities, including:
Merchant accounts for adult platforms and creators. Onboarding that is fast, transparent, and built around the specific requirements of high-risk sectors.
Mass payouts for global networks and agencies. Localized solutions that reach creators, affiliates, and vendors quickly and cost-effectively.
Fraud prevention and chargeback protection. Leveraging advanced technology to keep approval ratios high while maintaining compliance with international standards.
POS and mPOS systems for licensed businesses. Secure in-person payment devices for clubs, studios, and retailers.
Multi-currency and local payment options. Giving customers flexibility to pay in their own currency and method of choice.
Each of these solutions reflects FastoPayments’ long-term commitment to supporting high-risk industries with reliable infrastructure and proactive customer support.
Meeting the Industry Face-to-Face
AVN is not just about exhibits or panels. It is about connecting directly with the people shaping the industry. Throughout the event, Dennis and Gerardo will be available to meet with merchants, creators, and business owners looking for better ways to handle their payments.
These one-on-one meetings allow us to understand each client’s challenges on a personal level, whether it is improving approval rates, managing chargebacks, or expanding into new regions. Every conversation helps us refine our products and align them more closely with the needs of our merchants.

The Fasto Vision for 2026 and Beyond
Our participation in AVN 2026 reflects a broader goal for FastoPayments, to redefine how payment processing works for high-risk industries. We are building toward a future where approval rates, compliance, and customer experience can coexist seamlessly.
As global regulations tighten, our focus remains on offering payment technology that adapts to new standards without slowing down business. Through collaborations, data-driven risk tools, and localized payout networks, FastoPayments continues to position itself as a trusted partner for merchants that need performance without compromise.
Part of the Fasto Vegas Tour 2026
AVN 2026 is the second stop in our January Fasto Vegas Tour, following Affiliate Summit West. Together, these two events capture the diversity of the industries we support, from affiliate networks to adult platforms, each with its own unique challenges and opportunities.
By participating in both, we reinforce our presence in two worlds that rely on performance, trust, and consistent financial support. We look forward to connecting with partners new and old, sharing our expertise, and discovering new ways to collaborate in 2026.
