How to Buy Apps on Play Store with a Debit Card

Rancakmedia.com – Another way to buy apps on the Google Play Store is to use a local bank debit card in addition to credit, credit cards and Google Play Store vouchers. For example, I have tried and succeeded with the BTN bank ATM card.

Of course, this can benefit users who don't have a credit card or are lazy to buy Google Play Store game vouchers because as we know when buying, the nominal value has already been calculated and if there is still some left over, it's possible that the Google Play Store balance will be wasted because it's not being used.

As a workaround, changing your phone number will automatically re-register your old number so that it can be used for payment when purchasing or upgrading applications if you buy with credit. This can cause problems when adding billing carriers.

Important: Not all ATM cards or local (Indonesian) bank debit cards can be used to buy applications on the Play Store, although they can be used for online transactions, for example the Mandiri debit card, even though the online debit card has been activated, but so far it cannot be used to pay on Google.

As far as I know, the Play Store only accepts payments made using 3D secure or OTP codes.

The Google Play Store does not go through 3D Secure which is validated by Visa or Mastercard when we buy games or applications, so Mandiri ATM cards cannot be used.

I will be using a BTN debit card for this experiment, which I previously authorized at an ATM so that it can be used for online purchases including purchasing apps, books, and movie rentals from Google Play. If you're interested in learning how to do this, please see the following guide:
