Not a bug, FB has been stricter with billing lately. A lot of virtual cards are getting flagged, especially from the same BIN/bank.

Try:
  • Using a different bank or a physical card
  • Matching billing info exactly (name/address)
  • Warming up the ad account before scaling
  • Or adding PayPal instead of direct card
Usually it’s a trust/risk issue, not just the card itself.

i doont think its ban, mostly temp issue or your bank/bin problem
fb decline virtual cards alot now, try different bank card not same one, or use real card/paypal, also check country match and wait few hours sometimes it fix itself
 
mostly bank side issue, they block fb charges thinking its fraud or location mismatch… also virtual cards fail more these days… try call bank, use real card or paypal, and re add card, usually fixes.
 
Seriously though, it's probably not a ban on your specific card type, Facebook's just super sensitive with virtual cards or your bank is being extra cautious, so just grab a different kind of card or one from a completely new bank
 
It is mostly a bank side issue where they block Facebook charges due to suspected fraud or location mismatches. Virtual cards have also been failing more frequently lately. Since Facebook is highly sensitive to virtual cards and banks are being extra cautious, it is likely not a ban on your specific card type. To fix this, try calling your bank, using a physical card or PayPal, or re-adding the card. If that fails, the best solution is to use a different card or one from a completely new bank.
 
Try using a different bank or a virtual card provider like PST or AdsCard, fb is flagging a lot of bins lately. also make sure your billing address matches exactly what’s on the card or it’ll keep getting hit with temporary holds.
 
It's not just a bug, mate. Facebook has been tightening its filter on virtual card bins lately. Most virtual cards from generic banks are flagged quickly because they're overused by low-quality accounts.
The best way to solve this is switching to high-trust Agency Accounts where the payment method is already integrated and verified by Facebook. Much more stable for scaling
 
Yes, I encountered the same problem. This isn't a temporary bug it's because Facebook is scanning and blocking virtual card numbers. To resolve this, I went to the bank and got a physical Visa card, making sure it had at least $1-2 so Facebook could verify the transaction. You can refer to this method to fix the issue.
 
Try another card or contact FB support, usually temporary issue.
 
Fb is definitely tightening up on virtual cards right now, so try switching to a physical business card or a reliable provider like Privacy to bypass those security blocks. It’s super annoying but usually just a temporary flag, so reach out to support if your account quality looks clean
 
maybe you can test virtue card services, I recommand you adpos.io, I used for several months all work well now
 
FB flags a lot of virtual cards lately. Physical card or PayPal usually works better.

yes last days FB is angry for different payment methods)) but there are some common rules in order to avoid bans
1) use trust BINs (maybe exclusive, which are not shared among many users/teams)
2) one account = 1 unique virtual card
3) be sure that your payment method's GEO = your ad account's GEO
4) use anti detect browser
5) do not change your payment method without extra necessity
6) do not use previously blocked card

these rules are just the part of common rules, but they can help u not to catch the ban/risk payment so fast as it can be
 
The problem may be both in the account and in the card if it is virtual. Try buying another account for your card, or vice versa, change the card provider
 
If your vccs are from the same bank or BIN, most likely they've been blacklisted. You can try switching to a different provider that focuses specifically over virtual cards for ads.

Did you choose the account country to match the card’s country?
 
Facebook sometimes flags card patterns especially virtual ones try a physical card or paypal as backup contact your bank to confirm no block on their side
 
This error sometimes arises because the country on the card doesn't match the country of the advertising account due to changing the country to avoid taxes. Are you using a tax-evading account?
