Payment Error: (2046) - There was a problem processing your credit card, please double check your data and try again.

Damn!

Venmo is not yet available in your area.

Bloody hell!

Perhaps you should get an actual credit card as well as your debit card, for use with vendors and charities that can't handle debit cards.

(I appreciate that there are a number of possible reasons why you might be unwilling or unable to do that. They may be very good reasons. It's probably worth spending a few minutes, if you haven't already, considering whether they are good enough to outweigh being unable to donate to entities you would like to donate to, etc.)

I had no problems donating to GiveDirectly with my debit card; OTOH now I'm having trouble giving to CFAR via PayPal using the same card, which had never happened before to me. (I guess I exceeded my daily quota for Internet purchases.)

The thing is that it's supposed to function as a Check Card, able to be swiped as both credit or debit. This is actually the first time I've ever found anyone who won't take it.
