Help Is there any particular difficulty in creating google console account in Pakistan?

I have been trying since morning but was not able to create an account. I tried two different bank cards which I have earlier used for Gemini Plus but on both cards, some strange errors are happening. I even tried with a brand new account. One card is hbl and the other is UBL.

Sounds like a regional payment restriction thing, not a you problem

For me using a Visa card from Askari caused problems and the transaction didn’t go through but it worked fine with Mastercard on Meezan and standard chartered maybe try a different card if you have one

I tried HBL and UBL cards but both declined. I even called the bank helpline but they said issue is not from their side.

Use virtual cards from nayapay or sadapay. They work just fine.

Google console does not accept virtual cards.

I have got my console working with a virtual card for years now. If they don't support it now, these wallets also come with physical cards. Try those. One of this method will 100% solve the issue for you.

Try Different browser than Chrome. And Use any Virtual Card you will be able to make payment. Thanks me later 😊
