In short
Starlink bills its subscription to a card, and some local bank cards are declined. A US Visa or Mastercard virtual card is a common alternative: Yellowdotpay sells both from $100, bought with crypto, which you add on the Starlink account billing page. Keep enough balance on the card for each monthly charge.
- US Visa and Mastercard options
- For monthly Starlink billing
- 3-year validity, no monthly card fee
- Pay for the card with crypto
- Instant delivery

Paying Starlink with a virtual card
- Check your Starlink plan price and billing currency in your Starlink account.
- Buy a Mastercard USA or Visa USA card and load more than one month's charge.
- In your Starlink account, open billing and add the card with its billing address.
- Reload before each billing date so the monthly charge succeeds.
If Starlink declines the card
| Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|
| Billing address or postcode does not match | Enter the billing details exactly as shown for your card in My Cards. |
| 3D Secure step not finished | Complete the verification prompt. If no code arrives, contact our support before retrying. |
| Balance too low | Keep the balance above the charge plus any currency conversion. Some merchants place a small temporary hold first. |
| Merchant expects another card country or network | Switch between Mastercard USA and Visa USA. |
| Too many attempts in a row | Stop after two or three tries. Repeated declines can trigger fraud checks; wait and contact support. |
| Service not offered where you live | A card cannot change a merchant's country rules. Check the merchant's supported countries. |
We do not recommend VPNs, fake addresses or other ways of hiding your location. They break most merchants' terms and can get your account closed.
Starlink prices and billing currency depend on your service country. Yellowdotpay is independent and not affiliated with Starlink. More in our Starlink payment guide.
