Thanks for a response in advance, Prakash Anshuman Bhardwaj (@anshumanb) · 2026-03-12 Hi @prakashakrakr-7920, welcome to the Vercel Community! I'm sorry for the confusion but it seems like the card you added isn't accepted at Vercel and that's why the verification wasn't marked finished. Could you try with another credit card?
