What Credit Card verification issues can I encounter?

  1. Verification Link via Email not opening -
    If you encounter this issue, we recommend trying a different device and/or browser or if using a VPN it may need to be restarted. Otherwise, you can select our Manual Verification process instead.

  2. Charged amounts not visible -
    If you encounter this issue, we recommend allowing a full 24 hours for the transactions to show up.

    If you encounter this issue, you can contact your bank provider to see if they can see the two separate transactions in their backend. Otherwise, you can select our Manual Verification process instead.
