These decisions are made entirely by the bank or card issuer. If you have questions about why a specific credit card or payment method is not supported on our platform, please reach out to your bank directly.

Help Article: I need to add a new payment method
My bank is not accepted as a default payment method for first installments.
At this time, we will no longer be allowing bank accounts to be used as default payment methods for first installments on new orders. You may set your bank account as the default payment method for scheduled installments, however, you must have a debit or credit card on file set as the first installment payment method on your account. You can make changes to your default payment methods for both first installments and the following scheduled installments by navigating to your Sezzle dashboard, selecting "Accounts," and then "Payment Methods."
