Why Digital Ocean not Accepting My Visa Debit Card for Payments?

Posted on September 18, 2015

I want to purchase digital ocean VPS hosting servers but at payment or billing section , digital ocean does not accepting my visa debit card. I’m using Standard Chartered visa debit, bank managements saying you can use your visa debit cards in online market for buy and selling. But digital ocean not accepting my card, I’m confuse and worried about that because I want to start my server as soon as possible. PayPal not supported in my country so we can not utilize this service. Please help me to resolve that issue and to go ahead.

Yeah, the same. So i’ve been forced to use another one, having credit card only for DO not acceptable

Same here. Got a promo because I’m student and to use it I must provide credit card. IDK how things work abroad, but in my country almost all students use debit cards. Or I have to use and pay via Paypal (not even gonna try) to just be able to login. Gonna find better alterative.

I’m switching to another hosting company because of this.
