Re: What are the payment methods one can use to make purchases on origin

@ankitbarman005 In this case it looks like only credit cards are available in your region. The page to add a payment method should list everything supported in your region, as in the screenshots it only has the option to add a credit card.

You mention trying some credit cards, how did these fail to go through? Are the credit cards from another region? I know you mention enabling international payments, but perhaps they're still being blocked automatically?

@EA_David No, he said debit-cards, there you can upload funds either via your bank, Paysafecard, Paypal or Skrill account. I have one from Skrill myself and can't use them in certain stores, while others accept them as if they were a credit card. I use mine to withdraw from pokersites every once in a thousand years when i finally won something worth wile 🤨

In a way i think EA should offer more payment options. Like when i played Need for Speed World when that still was running they had a deal with BOKU when i started out. That wasn't available in every country but in mine it was. You could purchase small (up to 20 euro's) of in game items by using your telephone bill. Since i didn't use my full bundle i would use that to pay for stuff via Origin, but after a while they stopped that service. Same with Paysafecards, which for a lot of people is very handy to use, or in OP's case, a debit card. Money is money.
