  There could be several reasons why you're unable to add your debit card to Coinbase. Firstly, make sure that your card is supported by Coinbase. Some banks or card issuers may not allow their cards to be used for cryptocurrency transactions. Additionally, check if your card has sufficient funds and is not expired. Another reason could be that there are restrictions on your card for online or international transactions. Contact your bank to verify if any such restrictions exist. Lastly, Coinbase may be experiencing technical issues or undergoing maintenance, which could temporarily affect card payments. If none of these reasons apply, it's best to reach out to Coinbase's customer support for further assistance.

  Adding a debit card to Coinbase can sometimes be a bit tricky. One possible reason for the error message could be that the card details you entered are incorrect. Double-check the card number, expiration date, and CVV code to ensure accuracy. Another reason could be that Coinbase has flagged your card as high-risk due to suspicious activity or previous chargebacks. In such cases, Coinbase may require additional verification steps or may not allow the card to be added at all. It's also worth noting that Coinbase may have specific requirements for debit cards, such as being issued in certain countries or having a certain level of verification. If you're still unable to add your card, it's recommended to contact Coinbase's support team for further assistance.

Firstly, Coinbase may not support your specific debit card or your card issuer may have restrictions on cryptocurrency transactions. Secondly, ensure that your card has sufficient funds and is not expired. If your card is new or recently issued, it's possible that it hasn't been activated for online or international transactions yet. Lastly, Coinbase may be experiencing temporary technical difficulties or undergoing maintenance, which can affect card payments.
