Even though I'm set to Australia/Europe & Other Regions, I tried Euro VPN but no luck

Spoke to chat and if I cut out all the extra stuff, here's the relevant info I was advised:





I believe the guy to a degree and have a feeling the issue could be with GlobalCollect's relationship with my bank, though there's been no issues with other friend's with the same bank.
Odd, i know my bank is exceptionally paranoid about my debit card and will block it if its a little cloudy out. As for my credit card while i got it through them they're much more open about that and let me make purchases in places they'd normally block (Europe is a big one they'd block, trying to buy game time for eve online when i played that was impossible with my debit card). If the banks are blocking it, however i feel its somewhat unlikely, its still extending to square as it seems this is resulting on blockers being placed on people's accounts which is why it requires contacting support for the ultimate game card to even get through because it seems the 2nd part of the problem is once a problem occurs your account is just locked all around from getting anything on it, be it subscription or Crysta through UltimatePay.

I also saw someone earlier mention PayPal should go through because its a 3rd party so the bank wouldn't block it, but that's not 100% true, they still see where the origin of the payment is from and will block it. So while i don't think it's the banks, even if it is PayPal won't save you as I've had a similar problem in the past with my debit card trying to get around their blocking policies (which basically is what forced me to get my current credit card because that doesn't get blocked.).
