Why can't I add a card to my account?

If you experience this issue, you might be using a type of card that we can’t accept, such as:

  • A card in someone else’s name
  • A business or corporate card
  • An American Express card
  • A prepaid card
  • A card from a certain jurisdiction, eg the US


When adding a card, make sure the name and address on it match the details on your trading account as we can’t accept funds from a third party.

You can only link up to five credit/debit cards to your profile at a time. You might need to verify your card(s) before being able to remove them if you want to link other cards.
