Goto Entropay.com. Entropay is a fast, secure and trusted Virtual Credit Card services provider. Creating VCC through Entropay is 100% secure and 100% legal. I still use Entropay many times for online transactions. Best option with Entropay is you can create your VCC any time you want and destroy it any time after your purchase so that your card can’t be misused. Add the exact amount(minimum $20) and spend it as you wish then destroy it. Create and destroy as many cards as you need and there is no(absolutely no) charges for this. If you don’t want to destroy it then your card will be valid for 1 year long.

You can use this VCC for Paypal purchase too. But don’t use this card to verify your Paypal account. This may cause your Paypal account locked. Use your Bank account to verify Paypal rather.

Now register with Entropay for free. Once you register, you will be asked to link your Debit card with your Entropay account. This card will be used for adding funds to your Entropay account.

Add your card and verify your email account. Your very own virtual credit card will be issued by Entropay instantly. Just add funds to your card and purchase online.

    “Your Transaction Cannot Be Processed
    A problem with your credit/debit card is preventing us from transferring money onto your virtual Visa card.”

    Help me to solve this

    Can i use Bank of Maharashtra or kotak mahindra debit card for entropay account?

  4. krit says:

    entropay not working with panjab national bank (my secure code is already created)

  5. IMRAN says:

    and also ,My sbt card has a logo of meastro (front )and cirrus (back) so can i proceed through visa or mastercard link?

    • Rabin Biswas says:

      Imran – No you can’t use Maestro cards for this purpose. You need a card with 16 digit card number and a Name printed on the card with a CVC code. Maestro card numbers are 20 digit numbers and doesn’t have Name or CVC code.

  6. IMRAN says:

    Hi,Rabin. Thx 4 ur reply, but when i click the link state bank fgroup visa /mastercard. a blank page appears saying HTTP..request has no respond. So i can’t continue the further step, plzz help me. (My card is sbt state bank cash plus )

  7. IMRAN says:

    Hi, I have a SBT ATM CUM debit card, so for 1st step of registration, which bank i want to select in above link? And also what is meant by card no?? Pin or acount no??

    • Rabin Biswas says:

      Imran – State Bank of Travancore comes under State of India group so you have to select either SBI group Visa or Master card link depending on the logo printed on your card.

      Card No means the number (16 digit) printed on your ATM card. It is neither account number nor the PIN.

  8. Aparna says:

    HI
    I was trying to make payment through my Entropay VCC and when I selected Credit card option and selected visa after that I fill 16 digit number and CVV code and issuing bank name and click on submit button It showing the Invalid card number…Please tell me the proper procedure to use it.

    • Rabin Biswas says:

      Aparna if you have already registered your CARD for online transactions (methods given above) then I guess you have not entered the right Card Number or have selected wrong bank name. Other wise there is no other reason for such errors. So next time, make sure your card is registered for online transactions and type your card details carefully.

      • Aparna says:

        I tried but it show the error again.
        Look at the snap

        Invalid Credit Card no

        • Rabin Biswas says:

          Aparna – First I thought that you were having problems while loading funds to your Entropay Account but the snap shows that you are facing the problem when you are trying to use your Entropay card on third party website.

          If it is so then the payment page (on the image) doesn’t seems familiar to me. A credit card payment page always has a field for “Name (printed on the card)” and I have never seen “The issuing bank Name” field on such payment pages. You should contact your merchant so that they can help.

  9. beets says:

    Hi! Better you verify PayPal Account with your Bank Account. You can verify your STP Account with entropay card.

  11. Amit says:

    I can’t register on entropay. What could be the possible reason?

  12. Kannan says:

    Extremely useful information you have provided. Bankers in India cannot provide such information. In fact they do not know what facilities are available within their own banks. They are fit for drinking frequent Tea and hot Pakora. It is through your information I am benefited. Thanks a ton

    • beets says:

      Yes! Kannan! What you said is exactly right!

      Hi! Guys! Verify your Paypal account with your Indian Bank Account. And send money to your paypal by the entropay virtual card. and ofocurse purchase anything online with your entropay virtual card. ( For Starter pack the validity will be for 1 Year.)

  13. Apoorva says:

    hey..I have registered my syndicate bank maestro debit card with securecode but I’m still not able to load my VCC..it gave the following message
    Your Transaction Cannot Be Processed
    A problem with your credit/debit card is preventing us from transferring money onto your virtual Visa card.

    may i know what I can do??

    • Rabin Biswas says:

      Hi Apoorva. Does your debit card has your name printed on the card? As far I have seen Maestro cards are not accepted by any international sites as well as Entropay. My SBI Maestro cards too doesn’t work.

      You will need a debit card where your name is printed on the card. Ask for an international ATM cum Debit card from the bank.

      • Apoorva says:

        yeah i contacted the customer care and they said maestro cards cannot be used…i used another visa card to top up and made an ebay puschase as a guest..the product was for 9.49$ with free shipping but more than 11$ was debitted from the card…i am a newbie to ebay shopping so can you pls tell me why this happened?

        • Rabin Biswas says:

          Did you made the payment via Entropay VCC or Visa Credit/Debit card that has been issued by your bank?

          If it was the second option then it looks like your bank has charged you for foreign exchange (you paid in $s right?). + May be your bank has applied some charges for online payments using the card. You should ask your bank about the transaction.

          • Apoorva says:

            i paid using the entropay vcc…

          • Rabin Biswas says:

            Then there might be a card verification charge that was applied by ebay which should be refunded back to you in 3-4 days.

            I would say you must ask ebay about the transaction. Just call them and provide your transaction id.

    • beets says:

      Hi! Your Debit card/bank Account should be verified by VISA. You can contact your bank for doing the same.

    • beets says:

      Hi! use a Master/VISA Card.
      Your Name is not necessary on the card.
      But the account should be in your name.

  16. Vijaya Biju says:

    Thanks a lot.My paypal account is restored with Netsafe HDFC debit card option.Thanks for the site and timely response.It helped me to do the verification process successfully.

  17. Vijaya Biju says:

    Can I use Netsafe HDFC card to verify?

  18. Vijaya Biju says:

    Hi,
    I have a BOB card and updated my debit card information to verify for paypal.It is unverified.Paypal is not able to charge $1.95.I don’t have any other card neither debit nor credit card.How to make the verification process go through?Please help me.

    • Rabin Biswas says:

      Is that a credit card? I guess it is issued by Bank of Baroda right? Please tell us what kind of card it is I mean if it is a prepaid/postpaid credit card or it is a national or international debit cum ATM card.

      • Vijaya Biju says:

        Hi,
        It is a normal debit card of Bank of Baroda.

        • Rabin Biswas says:

          Paypal won’t be able to charge a Debit card because debit cards need a password/pin before it can be charged and therefore you won’t be able to verify using the debit card. You can add your bank account information i.e. bank account number & pan card to verify your account. Check through the verification options on Paypal and select the right one. That way you won’t be charged a single paise :) .

  23. vishal shetty says:

    Hi i have registered successfully and added idbi debit card as funding source.
    Now the minimum amount they demand is 20$ & they take 4.95% as their charge,
    ok but is the transaction fee that our bank takes from us.
    You are experienced person, and you know that please tell me.

    • Rabin Biswas says:

      @Vishal Entropay charges a flat 4.95% on any amount(min $20) as transaction fees while loading funds. That is all. There is no other charges for using the card for making online payments.
      My bank(IDBI, SBI) never charged anything for loading funds to Entropay account and I believe there wont be any charges on other banks too.

    Informative article.
    Thanks for posting it.

    i have allahabad debit card (visa) and syndicate debit card (maestro card).
    how to register my cards for online payment……

  26. Muzammil says:

    hi,

    i read ur blog and did the same i came all the way but the thing is that when i added VCC (entropay) to my paypal account, paypal deducted small amount and asked for the ‘EXPUSE CODE’ which should be in the statement of credit card (vcc) i’m waiting frm 3 days i didnt see any statement in my entropay vcc? any idea how much time wil it take to show statement?

    • Rabin Biswas says:

      Yes this is true that Entropay is too slow to build a final statement for account activity. Wait for few more days may be as long as 15-20 days or till the end of the month.

  27. arya says:

    hey robin ,ii don’t own any credit or debit card , i am a student and i am applying for an entrance exam for college in mumbai and they have given only two options for paying test fee payment and that is DEBIT OR CREDIT CARDS. though i use my mother’s SBI ATM CUM DEBIT CARD . so is it possible to use SBI ATM CUM DEBIT card as debit card .

    • Rabin Biswas says:

      Yes this is possible to pay via SBI ATM cum Debit Card but only if you have already registered your ATM cum Debit for online payments. If your card is not registered for making online payments then you will be redirected to the card registration page when you process your payment. This is one time registration and won’t take more than a minute. Make sure you have the ATM pin with you.
      You can also register your card for future without making a payment via the links given above. Click on the appropriate link and register your card so that you can make online payments via SBI debit cum ATM card.

      • Ashwin says:

        Hi,
        I tried using my SBI card, but it was, as it appears after speaking to the helpdesk, rejected by the bank. I’ve used the same card for shopping online many times before. Can you provide me any pointers as to why it could have happened?
        Thanks
        Ashwin

    Hi Rabin Biswas
    thanks for explaining in so much detail. But i have few questions

    can i withdraw my money from my solidtrustpay,alertpay,payapl account to my bank
    account using this method ?

    i am a designer and work under various people who send me payments through these payment processors.But i dont have a credit card,i do have a sbi debit card.

    i wanted to withdraw my money to my bank

    can we transfer money from the payment processors mentioned above
    to my entropay credit card and then tranfer that money to my bank/debit card?

    • Rabin Biswas says:

      Abhishek transferring money from Entropay card to bank account costs some really high percentage and I don’t think it is a good idea to cash your money unless you have no other option.
      Paypal allows you to withdraw your money directly to your bank account in India and that is completely free of cost, so I would recommend you to add and verify your bank account information in your Paypal account. This is the best option to cash your money in India.

  29. Shaikh Sohail says:

    hi,
    your post is very good but there is a problem with bank of maharashtra link you have attached wrong link with the name of bank of maharashtra when i am clicking on bank of maharashtra it opening bank of india so help me for bank of maharashtra i am waiting for you reply

    • Rabin Biswas says:

      Thanks Shaikh Sohail for pointing out the mistake. I have updated the link for Bank of Maharashtra, now you can register your Visa card issued by the bank with the link given above.

      • Shaikh Sohail says:

        But still i cant verify my debit card with paypal why? its not accepting (1) Entro pay card and also bank of maharashtra debit card why?

        • Rabin Biswas says:

          I don’t think verifying Paypal id with Debit card is possible but yes it is possible to verify Paypal account using Entropay Credit Card. If you are having trouble with then you may try again by creating a new separate Paypal account for a family member of yours.
          You can even verify Paypal account by listing your bank account details there and that is a better option than using Entropay credit card.
