Credit cards for investing: an unnecessary hurdle
The overall process was smooth, but I encountered an issue with my credit card limit (end of the month), which prevented me from investing the full amount I intended, despite having sufficient funds in my checking account.
Restricting payments to credit/debit cards feels like an unnecessary hurdle. I hope that in the future Crowdcube will also allow investments through a simple bank transfer, which would make the process more flexible and accessible.

Hi Stefano,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience paying with your credit card, and we completely understand how frustrating that must have been.
Please note that we no longer accept AMEX as a form of payment as of July 2022. This is because AMEX decided to place equity crowdfunding platforms on their prohibited industry list.
Please be assured that we are looking to offer other payment options in the future and hope the next time you invest, you have a more seamless experience.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at support@crowdcube.com.
Best wishes,
The Crowdcube Team
