I have been using my Allied Bank debit card for Netflix, AliExpress, Steam etc for as long as I have had my account by activating an online session, no problem

A few days ago, I got a session activated and tried using it on Netflix, it didn't work. I asked customer support, they said and I quote "Netflix is an unsecure website so we do not allow any transactions with Netflix"

These are dirty tactics to force you to get credit card

Interest lena is sharia compliant. But god forbid someone uses their own money to pay for a streaming service.

Is anyone facing recent problems with Meezan master card and amazon? Mine was working fine and then suddenly my Amazon prime subscription got cancelled due to card not working, had lengthy discussion with Amazon and Meezan csr, Amazon is saying your bank is declining our authorization and the bank says there is nothing wrong on their side.
It is so frustrating to finally find a card that worked and then suddenly it stopped. Why these Pakistani banks can't solve their problems when it comes to online transactions?

i am using aflalah and even their credit card doesnt work online without activation

They are very strict but all in all good.
Debit wont work on online international merchants and only credit card works

Lite worked fine for me on Netflix this June but my card has expired since then.

What the fk are these banks trying to pull here by blocking these sites?

Continuing this, I have decided to change banks

Which bank allows online payment through debit cards without any problems? HBL? Askari?

So what's the best card nowadays (used to be mcb lite) I'm looking for a card that gives good discount on sites like daraz.pk and works globally (play store, steam etc.) also doesn't have hidden fees or charges (mcb lite charges 0 rs on online payments) I'm fine with annual charges of like 300 or 500 rs, I'm looking for a bank account as a student maybe Meezan asaan account.

Meezan has a very good debit card - no hidden charges, discounts on Careem, Daraz etc., pre-activated with Verified by Visa security, NFC etc.. The annual charges are like Rs. 750. Recently, however, SBP's Shariah Compliance Board declared payments to Netflix as haram (lmao) . So, Meezan's card no longer works on Netflix, which is a shame. I have had 0 problems with Meezan's card, apart from the last issue, and have had it for almost 4 years now.
