Guys please help...... im now getting a new account just for online transactions like on steam/origin/googleplay etc and for Google AdSense im thinking of Axis Bank for this purpose(had a bad time with sbi debit card's while buying BF4 and CS:GO :( ) so guys please help me out which option should i tick there are options like MASTER,VISA,GOLD in the online form for debit card details....!! which of these will work?

same here bro , looks like icici seems to be best bet, btw steam is already accepting bitcoin u can make payments via zebpay mobile app their transaction charges are low too. i too need a card for origin and battle.net i guess i will go for icici expressions via the pockets app.

HDFC gave me an International Debit Card that works everywhere. Great relief. +1 to HDFC. Mine is Rewards Debit Card. Whoever has or plan to have an HDFC acc, go for Rewards Debit Card. Tested on Battle.net and Play Store both.

It should not.RUPAY is designed for transactions in Indian currency handled by an Indian payment gateway to reduce reliance on international ones like visa,mastercard etc.In fact the chances of a normal sbi debit card working with paypal in near future(which they are saying for years now) is much more than a rupay debit card.

guys i would like you all to know that today i tried to use digipurse vcc on origin and to my surprise it worked. yesterday i made id on digipurse and my visa card was generated after which i did a top up of 500rs(mandatory for first time) using my sbi good for nothing debit card. money got deducted and i recieved a message that my amount will be reflected in 1day. so i checked today after 1day and my bal was 0. i went to balance section and refreshed it it said payment error. i was so pissed and thought that it was a scam, i thought i will wait for few days that whether or not they will refund the money in my sbi acc. but just 3 hours after that i once again started app and to my surprise bal was now 500. straight away i logged in to my origin app on desktop i wanted to buy the origin access subscription so i filled all details and placed order. transaction was failed and rs 50 was deducted from my digi wallet. then i googled ea payment problems. i found one forum where it was said that prepaid cards cannot be used to buy subscriptions. then i decided to go for bf3 which was selling for 250, and the payment went through smoothly and my game was added to my delight :) , i will try it with steam and battle.net also and let u guys know abt tht. but anyways cheers

Nice to know Digipurse VCC worked but what about the failed transaction of Rs.50 which got debited from your digi wallet ? Did you get refund for it ?

no not yet i read in ea forums that ea charges 1dollar for card verification but if u save that card details then they wont deduct it next time , but if u dont then u will have to pay for 50rs for each transaction. i think for the first time when i tried to buy origin access they verified my card by deducting rs50 but when i bought bf3 no amount was deducted exept rs2 which may be comission of digipurse.

That 1 dollar or Rs. 50 transaction is just to see whether the details entered for the card are correct or not.

It gets reverted afterwards.
