card holder name and verified name on a buy page
The card holder name and the verified account name are the two fields most often mismatched, so compare them letter by letter before paying.
Before paying with a bank card, compare the card holder name with the verified account name letter by letter, and stop if they differ.
Key points
Read the card holder field
Open the card details in your banking app or the payment page and note the holder name, including any spaces or spelling variants.
Compare with the verified name
Open the exchange verification page and check the approved name field against the card holder, keeping first and last name in the same order.
Stop if one letter differs
If any character is different, do not submit the payment, and go back to the verification page to see which record is wrong.
Check the payee on the buy page
On the buy order page, confirm the payee name matches the merchant name shown there, as displayed on the day.
Common questions
Can I pay with a family member's bank card?
Check the exchange verification page for whether the card holder must match the account owner, as shown on the day, and do not pay if it does not.
What if the verified name and the card's English spelling differ?
Go back to the verification page and compare the approved field, check whether it is a word order or spacing difference, then fix it before buying.
