• why cant I use my bunq debit card with samsung or google pay

I have struggled to get gpay working through the direct link button.

I want to try adding my card directly but it says that this card is not supported.

Card number
XXXX
Invalid card number

Gpay does this for both my bunq and ABN cards. I am guessing this is some agreement between bunq / abn to only allow specific cards to be linked.

Samsung also says this card is not supported.
Can someone explain why this is the case?
Which cards can I use to manually add the payment options?

      @pqckmqn#255301 My question is different.
      I have read all the posts in that link. It still doesn't work to get gpay working.

      My question is why can't I use the card details directly. Why is Google/bunq not allowing me to use the card number to manually add it as a payment method.

      This is not covered in the previous posts.

        @New-Mango-Jaguar-276288146#255306 That’s ok, that’s the reason why you can post the question exact like you did here also there, just as a comment. I restored your posting nonetheless as a sign of goodwill.

          I think this has to do with my phone's region still showing as south Africa.
          I don't want to do a hard reset as I would lose access to my south African banking apps which I currently need for various reasons.

          Here is a bit of a breakdown on how hard it is to change your region.

          I can't do what these links ask as I need to add a payment method for the new country I am in. The Netherlands preferably with bunq, but ABN doesn't let me either.

          I can't update my region till I have a payment method. I can't add a payment method.
          I am stuck. I don't like bunq/gpay/abn at this point because I don't understand what I have done wrong.
          Or how to move forward.
          Why can I not just add my card directly?

            @New-Mango-Jaguar-276288146#255308 Sorry I am an iOS User so maybe someone else will help you out 🤔
