Does anyone here use Visa Revolut and has problems with steam purchases?

[RedZiro]

I've been using Visa revolut for a while now and it was working just fine the last purchase i did was on sep 25 2019, but some time after that and 1 oct 2019 it started giving me an error when trying to do any money transaction on steam.
The card has enough money and it still works on other site (had to purchase through direct warframe site)
Steam support says my payment somehow now is not for my region, Though the card is used for ( European Economic Area (EEA), Australia, Canada, Singapore, Switzerland, and the United States). Also check with my brother card and steam account the same thing.
Was there some kind of policy change or something ?
P.S. billing address and steam regions is the one I live in and log in from (no VPN or anything), and been using it for many years

i have the same problem

[RedZiro]

This is what I got from the support:
" Hi again,

Yes, moving forward to make a purchase, the payment method must be registered to a bank located within your current region. While your billing address and current location appear to be the same, it seems the banking institution that issued the card is located outside of your current region.

You'll be able to see all available payment methods for your region during the checkout process, but if you can't use any of the available payment methods, you may want to consider using Steam Wallet codes to add funds to your account.

Please let me know if you still have any questions at all.

Steam Support Cailen "

TLDR: You have to have a card that belongs to your countries bank, international cards that are out of your region, even if they are designed to work in your region, will be declined by steam.

Route your Revolut through paypal and it solves the problem

This is ridiculous. I have lived abroad and have bank accounts in other countries than my current residence. Also I have a revolut card not to be ripped of by FX exchanges at my local bank. Why wouldn't I be allowed to use these? This is a stupid, 20th century policy.

People were region hopping and abusing the system to get cheap games.

You can pay with Revolut via PayPal

[psha.ffs]

Yep can confirm paypal fixes this problem

[Bryss]

if you have revolut metal you can get a revolut MasterCard, these work on steam, its only the VISA cards that don't work unless you're from England i believe.

I have a Revolut Mastercard but it will not accepted. My account region is Switzerland, my normal swiss Matercard works fine but my Revolut Mastercard doesn't. I tried also connecting it to the Paypal account and it didn't work. The only time I was able to use the Revolut with steam was:

Pay with paypal, NOT use my account, choose the option "pay with credit card" (it is an option where you give your address without creating a paypal account). That worked, but this option does not come anymore (you can only log in to your paypal or create a new account, there is no option to "use credit card as a guest" anymore).

It's making me quite crazy.

[rogermorse]

OMG it worked now with paypal for no reason. I did everything exactly like in the past 6 years. Exactly like yesterday evening. It worked (with my own paypal account).

Same, except it says it couldn't accept payment

Is payment with revolut through paypal still working?

It is working. But know this:
Revolut has associated region of eccount/card which may mismatch with your steam account.
For example - im lithianian, my revolut account has set up with lithuania as a region, same as steam account.
Yet steam states that my revolut cards are registered in UK, and therefore i couldn't use any of payment methods that are linked with revolut or its cards.

This is due most recent changes towards cross region payment related security updates.
It may take few days of frustration w/ support but they are able to make you an exception.
In my case, excuse was that i was using those cards for many years for steam purchases and i'm a client of steam for many more years, not sure how it would work for fresh card.

If you can transfer money to your paypal balance rather than just have a card linked - it supposedly should work for sure.

good luck there soldier
