MyFans payment declined outside Japan?
Start with the payment method and your card issuer. MyFans officially supports overseas registration and credit-card payments, but it also notes that a card may be unavailable depending on the card's status.
Check these first
- Confirm the final price in yen and make sure your issuer allows overseas / foreign-currency transactions.
- MyFans lists Visa, Mastercard and JCB. Debit and prepaid cards may work, but availability still depends on the card.
- JCB is handled through an external payment flow at checkout rather than the normal card-registration screen.
- Your card company may apply its own exchange rate and overseas transaction fee.
- Paidy is not a general overseas fallback because MyFans says it requires a Japanese phone number that can receive SMS.
If the card still fails
Do not keep retrying blindly. Check whether your bank blocked the transaction, verify that online/overseas purchases are enabled, then review the other payment methods currently shown by MyFans at checkout. MyFans also lists BitCash for plans and single-post purchases.
Before paying
Use an official creator preview when one is available, verify whether the offer is a one-off purchase or a recurring plan, and check the current price on the official MyFans checkout page.
