Adobe Malaysia do not accept any of my my credit cards for payment. There is no other payment method available. My credit cards from various banks (Citibank, Cimb Bank) has no problems and zero outstanding at all. I can use my cards everywhere else online or offline with no problems at all.

 

HELP!!!!!!!

 

Error Msg: "A transaction can fail for a variety of reasons. Double check and make sure your payment information is entered correctly. If this issue persists, you may need to use a different payment method or contact your bank."

 

Correct answer marc_4725

I suspected the same thing but whats funny is that i tried other card/bank which i borrowed from my wife and brother, still same results. i have tried top 5 major banks in Malaysia at this point and 1 from SG.


One solution is ask the backend team at Adobe to lift the ban on both your bank cards and email address as they have been blacklisted by their fraud prevention system.

The other is use a new email address and another bank card, let an agent place the order for you.

 

Either one above will work. I tell you this.

Is the credit card from a bank in Malaysia? If not, it won't work, as the payment needs to be done locally.

If that is the case, do as @Manan Joshi told you. Eventually, you will also need to proceed through a reseller, as indicated by @kglad. I would first look with Adobe, especially if you have an existing plan. Resellers sell only Teams and Enterprise plans.

I see that your question has been solved already, but I just wanted to share that I had a similar issue with Adobe a few months back. I tried to use my online credit card, but it just wouldn't work. However, when I used my physical credit card, it went through without any problems.

So all I wanted was to get one of the products however couldnt get to make payment. I get the usual 

 "A transaction can fail for a variety of reasons. Double check and make sure your payment information is entered correctly. If this issue persists, you may need to use a different payment method or contact your bank."

 

I have already got in contact with one of Adobe Customer Service and even had a call, however even he doesnt know why this is happening and failed to resolve the issue. 

 

I have used multiple bank card, debit n credit, and even called my banks which they all say the same thing, the transaction didnt even go through their system for them to check what is the issue, which leads me to believe that the transaction was blocked on Adobe side.
