    PaulSti_4200330​ Is it a debit card? SMARTY needs the card to be a credit card, as current accounts can be used by under 18s.

    You can also Email a specific address if you don't have one, or the process fails. Look at this help article for more information: Parental restrictions | SMARTY Help Centre.

      Yes, I don't own a credit card. It begs the question though why pre populate a card that is not accepted. How else can I do it?

        PaulSti_4200330​ I guess it is to make verifying effortless if you use a credit card as your payment method, instead of re-entering those details again.
