AcceptedHalocard is accepted
Halocard is accepted at NordVPN. NordVPN takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover cards, plus PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cryptocurrency, at checkout on its website. Every plan is paid up front, so a two-year plan is charged in full on the day you buy. Disconnect any VPN or proxy before you pay, because NordVPN's fraud checks can flag the payment.

Why do NordVPN payments decline?
- Fraud detection: paying while connected to a VPN or proxy
- Disconnect the VPN or proxy and pay from a normal connection in the country your card was issued in, then try once more.
- Incorrect information
- NordVPN needs the details you enter to match the card. Re-enter the name, billing address and expiry date exactly as your Halocard dashboard shows them.
- Insufficient funds
- Plans are paid up front, so a one-year or two-year plan needs room for its full price. Check the card in your Halocard dashboard covers the whole amount, then try again.
NordVPN payment FAQ
Can I get a refund from NordVPN?
Yes, on your first purchase. NordVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for new subscriptions, requested through live chat with support. Renewals are not covered unless local law says otherwise. Subscriptions bought through Apple or the Amazon Appstore are refunded by that store. A refund can take up to 10 business days to reach your card.
How do I stop NordVPN from renewing?
Log in to Nord Account, open the Billing tab, click Cancel next to auto-renewal and select Cancel auto-renewal. The status changes to off and you get a confirmation email. The same steps work for NordPass, NordLocker and bundles. If you subscribed through Google Play, Apple or the Amazon Appstore, cancel in that store.
Can I pay for NordVPN with crypto?
Yes. NordVPN lists Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and stablecoins among its payment options. A crypto payment through CoinPayments does not start an auto-renewing subscription, so you pay again when the plan ends. If your account is still inactive after paying, the transaction may not be confirmed on the network yet.
Does NordVPN accept PayPal?
Yes. PayPal is one of the payment methods at the NordVPN checkout, next to cards, Google Pay and cryptocurrency. A PayPal payment starts a subscription that renews automatically when the plan ends.
Does NordVPN accept prepaid cards?
Yes, most of them. NordVPN says a prepaid card must be registered online with a name and an address, and prepaid Visa cards are known to work. Some prepaid cards add conversion fees of around 3 to 5%, which are not in NordVPN's prices. Payments with prepaid cards do not renew automatically.
