Does Facebook Ads block certain VCC providers for security reasons?

shared881

Yes, Facebook Ads (Meta Ads) blocks certain Virtual Credit Card (VCC) providers for security and fraud prevention reasons. Their payment system has strict fraud detection that may flag, reject, or block VCCs based on multiple factors.
🔹 Why Facebook Blocks Certain VCC Providers
1️⃣ High-Risk or Overused VCC Providers
Facebook blacklists VCCs from providers frequently used in ad fraud.
If many users report chargebacks, failed payments, or account bans using a specific provider, Facebook blocks it.
✅ Solution:

Use a trusted provider like ExoCards that supports Facebook Ads payments.
Avoid free or unknown VCC services that might be blacklisted.
2️⃣ VCC Billing Address Doesn't Match the Account Country
If your VCC billing address is in one country but your Facebook Ads account is in another, Facebook may flag or block it.
✅ Solution:

Use a VCC with a billing address that matches your Facebook Ads account country.
If using a VPN, ensure your IP location matches the billing country.
3️⃣ One-Time Use or Temporary VCCs Are Rejected
Some VCCs are single-use and don't support recurring transactions, causing Facebook to reject them.
Facebook Ads requires a payment method that allows future charges.
✅ Solution:

Use a reloadable VCC or a business VCC instead of a disposable card.
Check if your VCC provider supports auto-recharges.
4️⃣ The Same VCC Was Used on Multiple Accounts
If the same VCC is used on multiple Facebook Ads accounts, Facebook can flag or block it.
If one account is banned, Facebook may blacklist the VCC for all linked accounts.
✅ Solution:

Use a unique VCC for each Facebook Ads account.
Avoid sharing the same payment method across multiple accounts.
5️⃣ Frequent Failed Payments or Chargebacks
If your VCC fails too many payments or has chargebacks, Facebook may permanently block it.
✅ Solution:

Keep a sufficient balance in your VCC to avoid failed transactions.
Ensure your VCC allows Facebook Ads charges before adding it.
🔹 How to Check If Facebook Blocked Your VCC
✅ Steps to Identify a Blocked VCC
1️⃣ Go to Facebook Ads Manager → Billing.
2️⃣ Click on your payment method and check for error messages like:

❌ "Payment method not supported"
❌ "Unable to process this payment method"
❌ "We couldn't verify your payment method"
3️⃣ Try removing and re-adding the VCC.
4️⃣ If still blocked, try a different VCC provider.
📌 If your VCC is permanently blocked, Facebook will not allow you to add it again.

🔹 What to Do If Your VCC Gets Blocked
✅ Step 1: Try a Different VCC Provider
If your VCC is blocked, try a business-friendly VCC provider like ExoCards.
Ensure the billing address matches your ad account country.
✅ Step 2: Use a Backup Payment Method
If your VCC gets blocked, add another payment method (PayPal, debit/credit card) to keep your ads running.
Go to Facebook Ads Billing → Click "Add Payment Method".
📌 A backup method prevents your ads from stopping if a VCC is rejected.

✅ Step 3: Contact Facebook Ads Support
If your VCC was incorrectly blocked, you can request a manual review.
