Google Wallet & Buying Apps on Play Store

[Mo0s]

So I don't have a credit card but I do have a debit card from FNB (regular transactional account). Is it possible to link this to Google Wallet in order to buy apps as oppsed to a credit card? I really wanna get a few apps but I don't have a credit card and would hate to pirate any app when I can pay for it. Please advise.

My Google Wallet for Play Store is linked to my FNB Debit Card. DO IT! It works

Not the debit card unfortunately. Get a Capitec account

A standard debit card won't work (it's different from a cheque card).. The easiest will be to use VcPay which is a virtual credit card from EasyPay.. Download the VcPay app from the playstore, once you register you'll get an easypay number, go to any easypay paypoint (pick n pay, checkers, post office etc) and pay in any amount that you would like to add to you card, then in the VcPay app create a virtual credit card and allocate funds that you payed to easypay.. Then just add the virtual card to Google wallet.

AFAIK the FNB debit cards all have CVV's which means it is not a traditional debit card, and is classified as a 'Hybrid' card. If it has a CVV you can use it.

Oh you right. Some db cards can only be used within our borders.

Wow, that's great. Signed up for an Easy Pay account but I saw a message saying you can only top-up your account via the VcPay card.... What does that mean?
