I have issues buying crypto with a credit/debit card

1. Why Did My Crypto Purchase Fail?

1. Credit card restrictions

• Overseas transactions restricted by the credit card you’re using.
• Credit card limit has been reached (single transaction limit or monthly limit)
• 3D Secure authentication issues, which could be that your credit card type is not supported or your credit card does not support 3D Secure authentication.
• Risk control issues from the bank of your credit card (fraud prevention by the bank, the amount of money spent by the user is higher than before, the payment is not completed after using the same card within a short period of time, etc.

2. Pop-up messages that appear on the BTCC web/app

When submitting payment:

• “Account Restricted”
• “IP Address Restricted”
• “Identity Verification Required”

During the payment process:

• “Payment failed” (For example, the card you entered cannot be used for this payment. Please use another card.)
• Other failure messages

3. Maintenance/system upgrades of the payment channel

We will make announcements to inform users about the scheduled maintenance/system upgrades prior.

2. What Should I Do if My Crypto Purchase Failed?

1. Credit card restrictions

If you encounter restrictions on your credit card, please contact your card issuer for assistance. Ask customer support to check and adjust the relevant restrictions, then try to buy crypto with the same card on our platform again.

As for 3D Secure authentication-related issues, please try using another credit card for your purchase.

2. Pop-up messages that appear on the BTCC web/app

“Identity Verification Required” — Please complete identity verification first.

“Account Restricted” & “IP Address Restricted” — It is likely that the crypto purchase failed because of the conditions listed on your credit card’s terms of service. Please use other credit cards to buy crypto or make a deposit by transferring crypto from other platforms/wallets to your BTCC account.

If you still see a failure message after using another credit card, please take a screenshot of the message and get in touch with our customer support for further assistance.

3. Maintenance/system upgrade of the payment channel

To provide a better experience for our users, the credit card payment channel will undergo maintenance or system upgrades from time to time.

You may wait for the maintenance/upgrades to complete, or you can use other forms of payment to buy crypto on our platform.
