Hello, My organization enrollment (Enrollment ID 95K9SCG64P, Boris Webnix LLC, Wyoming, USA) has passed document review and I have accepted the Program License Agreement. Now I'm stuck at the final step: paying the US$99 membership fee. What happens: Every payment attempt fails with "Authorization Failed – a request to your bank for the funds was declined." I live in Serbia. The Serbian Mastercard saved on my Apple Account is offered automatically at checkout, but the billing country is fixed to United States (because the company is in the US) and I can't change it, so that card fails with "Please enter a valid zip code". I then used my company's US business debit card (Mercury, both the physical and a virtual card) with the exact billing address on file at my bank (30 N Gould St, Ste N, Sheridan, WY 82801). It still fails. Mercury support checked their system and confirmed that no authorization request from Apple ever reached them. The card is active, has enough funds and has no restrictions, so the payment seems to be blocked on Apple's side before it reaches the bank. I have contacted Developer Support (Membership and Account > Program Purchase and Renewal, Case ID 30000011654896) and I'm waiting for their reply. My earlier thread about the document review was answered and closed, so I'm opening this new one for the payment issue. If anyone had the same problem (paying for a US LLC from outside the US) and found a solution, I'd be very grateful for any tips. Thank you! Boris
