How to Verify Your Payment Method on Facebook Ads
If you’re trying to add a payment method to your Facebook ad account and suddenly see something like “Verify card” or “Some payment methods aren’t verified”, don’t panic — you’re not alone. This is Facebook’s way of making sure that you, the owner of the card, are actually authorizing it. In this blog post, I’ll walk you through exactly how to verify your debit or credit card when this issue pops up — using real examples and step-by-step instructions. Why Is Facebook Asking You to Verify Your Card? When Facebook detects unusual activity or if it’s the first time you’re using a card, it wants to make sure the payment method is secure. You may see a message like: “We saw some unusual activity on your payment method. To keep your account safe, verify all of your payment methods.” This simply means Facebook wants to verify that you’re the actual owner of the card. Here’s how to do that quickly and easily.
