Already have a UK bank card? Here's why you need Halocard

US Visa credit

Real Visa credit cards issued from the USA

UK neobanks issue virtual debit cards that are often declined by US merchants, streaming platforms and ad networks. With Halocard you can create virtual credit cards directly on the US Visa network.

Multiple cards

More virtual cards for every purchase

Create dedicated cards for retail purchases, online subscriptions and advertising spend. Isolate costs and prevent billing surprises.

US billing address

Nominate a US billing address

Nominate a US billing address (or any custom address worldwide) on any card, essential for accessing US-only services like Amazon US, Hulu, HBO Max, etc.

Private purchases

Private purchases separate from your bank

Halocard doesn't connect to your UK bank via Plaid or Open Banking. Your spending never appears on your Barclays, HSBC, or Monzo statement keeping your purchases private.

UK debit card declines at US merchants explained

Why do UK debit cards often decline at US merchants?

Virtual debit cards from UK neobanks like Revolut, Monzo, and Wise are often declined by US merchants as foreign cards with no US billing address. Halocard solves this problem with US-issued Visa credit cards that process as domestic transactions, reducing the risk of declines.

10.2%

Average decline rate for debit cards. Cross-border transactions have an even higher failure rate of 15–25%.

3.8%

Average decline rate for credit cards. Domestic credit cards have higher acceptance and solve these problems.
