List of Indian banks providing debit cards that are accepted by PayPal and Google

By Faruque Ahamed Mollick

In our country, most of the debit cards provided by a bank does not work on PayPal, Google Wallet or any other types of international payment gateways. When I started my PayPal account, I was also not able to use my debit card provided by United Bank of India.

All those cards rejected by PayPal and other international payment processor is because our in India there is a Government regulation for online transactions a 3-D secure pin must be used for security purposes. But for those entities like PayPal, Google Wallet there is no concept like 3d secure pin system. This is the reason, most of the Indian bank debit card is not acceptable on PayPal or Google Wallet.

However, there is still some bank in India providing the debit card that is acceptable by PayPal, Google Wallet or any other types of international payment gateway. Below is the list of some of the Indian banks where you can get the internationally accepted debit card for online payment:

Kotak Mahindra

I have already used my Kotak bank debit card for international payment purpose. I started it by downloading the Kotak 881 Android app provided by the Kotak Mahindra Bank. After you started your account through the app, one of their staff will call you for an appointment or you can also choose a date for appointment from the app. After they verify your account, you will able to request your international debit card.

In my case, it just took two days to get my physical debit card from Kotak Mahindra Bank after I request for the card through the app. Well, I am so happy with my Kotak Mahindra bank debit card as I can use it internationally through online. I am using this card to pay for my hosting and domain.

To me, the simplest way is to go with Kotak Bank debit card as it is accepted internationally by default and there is no need to do anything for making the card internationally supported.
