Why Ugandan Cards Get Declined on TikTok Ads
Ugandan bank cards have limited international acceptance. Mobile money services like MTN MoMo and Airtel Money dominate locally but don't extend to global online merchants.
TikTok Ads charges Pay per click/impression (min $50/day for campaigns) in USD. Ugandan bank cards often fail because of currency conversion issues, BIN blocks, or bank restrictions on international transactions. A virtual dollar card solves this permanently.
