Why Hong Konger Cards Get Declined on GitHub Copilot
While Hong Kong has strong banking, international transaction fees of 1-2% and unfavorable exchange rates still impact frequent global spenders.
GitHub Copilot charges $10/month or $100/year in USD. Hong Konger bank cards often fail because of currency conversion issues, BIN blocks, or bank restrictions on international transactions. A virtual dollar card solves this permanently.
