Hi @1dave123 I am also in the exact same boat as I use N26 for my current account. I also emailed them at the time and didn't get a reply. So please let me know how you get on.Hi - has anyone successfully bought prize bonds online using a debit mastercard in the last month or so.
I have been trying for a few weeks now without success - I get a message that says "Sorry this card type is not supported"
It is an N26 Debit Mastercard. Up until recently I used this same card to buy prize bonds no problem . I contacted the Prize Bonds Team in October to see what the issue might be - they never replied.
The card works fine on every other site - it's just the prize bond purchase site that has an issue with it.
Before I contact the Prize Bond Team again it would be good to know if anyone else is having similar issues.
Thank you.
I think the issue is that it always used to work fine via an N26 Debit Mastercard, but since October it has stopped working so something must have changed.The transaction may have been rejected because the Prize Bond online purchase system doesn't support that card issuer - N26. The card type (debit) or scheme VISA/Mastercard doesnt matter. For example, an AIB debit card can be supported, an N26 debit card might not be.
Without knowing the error code details returned its also possible that N26 rejected the transaction. If you can, try a card from a different issuer (AIB/BOI/PTSB)
correct, but it could have changed at N26 or at Prize Bonds. Have you contacted n26 to see what they have to say?I think the issue is that it always used to work fine via an N26 Debit Mastercard, but since October it has stopped working so something must have changed.
