Why Australian Cards Get Declined on GitHub Copilot
Australian banks charge 2-3% foreign transaction fees on every international purchase. These fees add up quickly for frequent online shoppers and SaaS subscribers.
GitHub Copilot charges $10/month or $100/year in USD. Australian bank cards often fail because of currency conversion issues, BIN blocks, or bank restrictions on international transactions. A virtual dollar card solves this permanently.
