In your place, I would try debit for verification. Saw threads on Reddit from people using debit and successfully passing verification.

It does seem very freaking weird that we have to apply for what is essentially a loan in order to pass through the modern equivalent of the beaded curtain in the back of the video rental place.

I have a Debit Card attached to my Steam account and it does not accept it. So its unlikely it will accept their Debit Card.

It makes no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense to demand a credit card as proof, who decided this was a good idea?

Need help. I have an Amex Credit Card which is not acceptable for steam...soooo what do I do now!?

Tried verifying the debit card I've been using, you click continue and it just goes back to the main screen with no effect.

or is master card for debit card?

Similar story here. Its funny how the 18+ sites want a face ID to verify and Steam want a payment method to verify.

So I'm 38, in the UK, have an almost 20 year old account and a debit card attached to it and purchases going back to bloody 2009. What am I supposed to do if I don't HAVE a smegging Credit Card, Steam? Even my Dad doesn't have a Credit Card and he's in his 60s!

(Credit cards are Baaaad, Mmkay?)

What's stopping you from getting a credit card and why is that Valve's problem to solve? The law they're complying with isn't something they created, so what about that FlareFluffsune?

Why is Valve responsible for solving the inconvenience your laws have caused you?

I mean, I've had credit cards for like 27 years, what's the problem? Are you incapable of managing money responsibly and the only way you can is avoiding certain financial products? Why is that Valve's problem either?

A payment method that BARELY anybody has because not a lot of people use credit cards as much as debit cards, unless you are an older person.

Either Valve fixes this so debit cards work, or they hopefully include the selfie option as a way of confirmation. Better a selfie than the government ID, even if it is Valve we're talking about.

same here. old account. I don't have or want a credit card. seems a stupid way of doing things. Already have a debit card on here, why not use that?

What cave are you living in? Regardless, Valve might have a better idea of what most of their customers are doing than you, ya think?

At a certain point you will have to meet the requirements of the system, the system won't always have to change to accommodate your special needs.

You'll just have to wait and see if any tinkering is done to the system, there was bound to be growing pains as some users struggle to verify for whatever reasons. I'm sure none of it was Valve's first choice either. They're already trying to do the bare minimum.
