Claude by Anthropic is one of the most powerful AI tools in the world right now. Whether you’re using it for writing, coding, research, or automating daily tasks, Claude delivers.
But for many people in Africa, there’s just one frustrating problem: you can’t pay for it.
Cards get declined. Payments don’t go through. Even when you have money in your account, Claude won’t let you subscribe.
So what’s going on? And how can you fix it?
Let’s break it down and show you the simplest way to subscribe to Claude from anywhere in Africa.
Why Your Claude Subscription Keeps Failing in Africa
You’re not alone. Thousands of users across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and other parts of Africa face the same issue.
Here’s what’s likely happening:
1. Your bank card doesn’t support recurring international payments
Claude runs on a monthly subscription, and most African-issued cards (especially debit cards) don’t allow recurring billing for international services.
2. Currency restrictions are blocking your transaction
Local currencies like naira, cedis, or CFA are often blocked from international use, especially since recent forex policies were tightened.
3. Claude uses Stripe, and Stripe rejects many African cards
Even if your card is a Visa or Mastercard, Claude’s payment processor (Stripe) may still decline it.
Common Errors You Might See When Paying for Claude
- “Card declined” at checkout
- “Payment method not supported.”
- Subscription cancels automatically after your first payment
- Payment doesn’t even attempt, it fails immediately
If you’ve seen any of these, the issue is your card, not you.

Final Thoughts: Access Shouldn’t Be a Privilege
Claude isn’t just another app. It’s a gateway to leverage intelligence, productivity, and speed at scale. In a world where information moves fast and the best tools create exponential advantage, access becomes everything.
But here’s the catch: many brilliant minds in Africa are locked out—not by skill or will, but by broken payment systems. A card that doesn’t work becomes a barrier to innovation.
That’s not just frustrating. It’s unnecessary.
Technology is meant to equalize, not exclude.
You shouldn’t need to beg your bank, borrow a foreign card, or hack your way around basic payments just to use global tools.
EverTry changes that. It gives you a working card, instantly, reliably, and built for the world you live in, not the one banks think you do.
So stop waiting for permission to participate.
With EverTry, the doors are open. Pay for Claude. Pay for anything. And keep building the future, without limits.
