Subject: Payment Verification Issue with €0 Authorization Transactions for European Banks
Dear GitHub / Cloudflare Support Team,
I am writing to report a recurring payment verification issue affecting users with European bank accounts.
Your payment system appears to use €0 authorization transactions to verify payment methods. Unfortunately, many European banks and card providers flag these zero-value transactions as suspicious or potential scam activity. As a result, legitimate payment methods are often rejected, even though the card or bank account is valid and fully functional.
This creates unnecessary frustration for customers and can block access to your services.
I strongly recommend that you reconsider this verification method and implement a more reliable solution. One possible fix would be to replace the €0 authorization with a small temporary charge, for example €1–€5, which can then be refunded or credited to the user account. Small real transactions are generally recognized by European banking systems and are much less likely to be blocked.
Resolving this issue permanently would improve payment reliability for many customers across Europe and reduce failed payment attempts caused by false fraud detection.
Please consider addressing this problem once and for all, as it has become a significant obstacle for legitimate users.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.
Kind regards,
[Your Name]
Als je wilt, kan ik hem ook krachtiger / formeler maken zodat het meer klinkt als een officiële klacht.

Ja — als je al 8 weken vastzit, mag de toon veel steviger. Hier is een krachtigere versie:
Subject: Urgent: Fix Your Broken Payment Verification System — 8 Weeks of Unresolved Failures
Dear GitHub / Cloudflare Management,
I am writing to express serious frustration regarding your payment verification system.
For more than 8 weeks, I have been unable to complete payments because your system uses €0 authorization transactions for card verification. This approach is fundamentally flawed for many customers in Europe.
European banks and fraud detection systems frequently classify zero-euro transactions as suspicious, fraudulent, or scam-like behavior. Because of this, legitimate cards are rejected even when they are fully funded, active, and verified by the bank.
This is not a user error. This is a failure in your payment infrastructure.
It is difficult to understand why companies of your size continue using a verification method that is known to fail with European banking systems. This issue blocks real customers from paying for your services and wastes enormous amounts of time.
After 8 weeks of failed attempts, support delays, and repeated payment failures, it is clear this problem requires structural correction—not another generic support response.
The solution is straightforward:
Stop using €0 verification authorizations.
Instead, use a small temporary charge such as €1–€5, which can be refunded or credited. European banks recognize real transactions far more reliably, and this would eliminate many false fraud flags immediately.
I am asking you to resolve this issue permanently, once and for all.
A payment system should enable customers to pay—not prevent them from doing so.
Please escalate this to the appropriate engineering and payment teams and provide a real fix.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
