Unlock global AI access with EverTry, no foreign bank account needed.
If you’re in Pakistan and you’ve hit a “Card declined”, “Payment failed,” or “This card doesn’t support this purchase” message when trying to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus, you’re not alone. Many Pakistani freelancers, students, creators, and business operators hit the same wall every day.
At EverTry, we believe your geography should not limit your access to global tools. That’s why we built our dollar virtual card solution, to fix exactly this kind of payment barrier.
By the end of this article, you will:
- Understand exactly why your local Pakistani card often fails for ChatGPT Plus.
- Learn how to set up EverTry in a few minutes and get a working USD virtual card.
- Be ready to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus with confidence (and use the card for any global premium service).
- Know what to do if you still hit a snag, and how to get help.
Why Your Pakistani Card Often Fails with ChatGPT Plus
Here are the three most common reasons (and the truth behind them):
USD / International recurring payments blocked
Your local bank or card may allow online shopping in Pakistan or even abroad, but recurring international billing (monthly subscriptions in USD) often triggers a block. Many Pakistani cards simply aren’t configured for “international recurring” at the level platforms like OpenAI require.
As one redditor put it:
“I have subscribed to chatgpt+ but now I am no longer subscribed because my cards won’t process the payment… Meezan card worked until May 2023 before Stripe said the card was invalid.”
Payment processor & region mismatch
Even if your card supports international transactions, the payment processor at OpenAI (or whichever vendor they use) may treat Pakistani-issued cards as high risk for foreign subscriptions. This means auto-declines or “does not support this purchase” messages.
The official OpenAI help page confirms that while many currencies are supported (including PKR) for some plans, the card still needs to meet “international recurring payment in USD” criteria.
You actually can do it—but you need the right tool
Yes—Pakistani users are subscribing to ChatGPT Plus. But they’re using virtual dollar cards or international-friendly fintech rather than local bank cards. For example:
“Much better: fintech and digital banks like Sadapay and Nayapay … virtual dollar cards.” BytePlus
In short, the problem is not that ChatGPT Plus is unavailable in Pakistan. The problem is the payment method.
How EverTry Fixes It (and Why It Works)
Here’s how EverTry gives you a smooth, reliable route to paying for ChatGPT Plus—and much more.
Built for Global Payments
EverTry issues virtual dollar cards (USD) that are stamped with Visa/Mastercard and enabled for recurring international billing, exactly what platforms like OpenAI require. No need for a U.S. bank account, U.S. billing address, or foreign friend.
Easy Crypto & Funding Options
- You fund your EverTry wallet using PKR, USDT, or USDC (stablecoins).
- Then you allocate funds to your virtual card.
- You’re in control and instantly global-ready.
One Card, Many Services
Once you’ve created your card and funded it, you can use it not only for ChatGPT Plus but for:
- Online courses (Udemy, Coursera)
- SaaS subscriptions (Zoom, Notion, Canva, Adobe)
- Digital advertising (Facebook, Google)
- E-commerce (Amazon, AliExpress)
Because it works globally and recurs reliably.
Transparency & Trust
At EverTry, we prioritize security, compliance (KYC, AML), and a simple user journey. No confusing workarounds. No untested hacks. Just a payment method built for people who need global access.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We’ve gathered the most common questions from Pakistani users—and answered them simply.
Q: Can I pay for ChatGPT Plus from Pakistan at all?
A: Yes. The subscription is available in PKR (Pakistani Rupees) among supported currencies.
But paying via local bank card alone often fails because of payment method limitations.
Q: Is using EverTry legal and secure?
A: Absolutely—EverTry is a regulated fintech solution, following KYC/AML compliance. You’re using a legit virtual USD card issued under global rules. EverTry & OpenAI are not affiliated, so you still need to follow OpenAI’s terms.
Q: Do I have to use crypto to fund EverTry?
A: Not really, you can fund with PKR or USDT or USDC.
Q: Why can’t I just use my Pakistani bank card?
A: Many reasons: the card may block recurring USD payments, the processor may reject it due to risk profile, or your bank may flag monthly foreign subscriptions as high risk.
“Card gets declined … my cards won’t process the payment.” Reddit
Q: What if my renewal fails next month?
A: Just ensure your EverTry wallet is funded and the virtual card has sufficient balance at renewal time (typically monthly). If you ensure this, renewal should succeed.
Pro Tips & Troubleshooting
Here are some extra tips from our team + real-user feedback, to help you keep everything smooth.
- Tip: After creating your virtual card, make a “test small purchase” (~$5) before subscribing, to confirm the card works.
- Tip: Note the date of your first charge — set a reminder a few days ahead of your next billing date to top up.
- Troubleshoot: If you see “card declined”, check:
- Your virtual card is in USD and funded.
- You used the correct name & billing address.
- Your bank (or EverTry) didn’t place any hold on the card.
- Tip: Keep your wallet funded—if you withdraw or spend all funds mid-month, renewal can fail.
- Tip: Although you use a Pakistan address, avoid using a VPN for billing details (OpenAI may flag mismatches).
- Tip: Keep track of your subscription. Even though you’re using a virtual card, you’re still subject to the standard renewal rules of ChatGPT Plus.
