Why Singaporean Cards Get Declined on GitHub Copilot
Singaporean cards generally work internationally but charge 1-3% foreign transaction fees. For a city-state that runs on global commerce, these fees add up quickly.
GitHub Copilot charges $10/month or $100/year in USD. Singaporean bank cards often fail because of currency conversion issues, BIN blocks, or bank restrictions on international transactions. A virtual dollar card solves this permanently.
