Hi Indrajit,

Here are possible issues to the cause of your error message.

Please double check, and make sure none of the issues presented below is causing problem:

Typing error: Double-check that you entered the credit card information correctly, including the card number, expiration date, CVV code, and the name on the card. Even a small typo or mistake can result in the error message.

Address mismatch: Ensure that the billing address you provided matches the address associated with your credit card. The billing address you enter should match the one registered with your bank or credit card company.

Card type or issuer not supported: Azure accepts several major credit card types, such as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. If you're using a less common card type or your card issuer is not supported, you may encounter this error. Check Azure's documentation or contact their support to verify the accepted card types and issuers.

Bank restrictions: In some cases, your bank may have imposed restrictions on online transactions or placed a hold on your card for security reasons. Reach out to your bank's customer service to confirm that there are no restrictions on your card and that it can be used for online purchases.

International transactions: If you are attempting to set up an Azure account from a different country than the one associated with your credit card, your bank might be blocking the transaction as a security measure. Contact your bank to ensure that international transactions are allowed.

1. Temporary technical issue: Occasionally, there can be temporary issues with Azure's payment processing system. If none of the above reasons apply and you are confident that the information entered is correct, try again after some time or contact Azure support for assistance.
