Moved to Hungary but still have my credit card with Swiss bank

My Question or Issue

I got an email from Spotify that my payment cannot be processes. Makes sense because I move every few years and probably need to update my billing address associated to my credit card.

However, it seems impossible...

Spotify account was originally registered in USA. Now I live in Hungary, but I don't have a credit card from a Hungarian bank. I use my Swiss based credit card with my Budapest address registered as the billing address (This is allowed, all other payments work fine, as long as my bank has my billing address in Budapest).

Why doesn't Spotify seem to allow me to live in Hungary and pay with my Swiss credit card? As long as my billing address is properly registered with my Swiss bank (in Hungary), this should be possible, even normal & easy...

Thanks for any suggestions,

Hi there @booboosisi,

Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!

Unfortunately, it won't be possible to pay for Spotify Premium with your Swiss bank card while living in Hungary long term. 

Technically, as long as your original payment method stays valid and has sufficient funds, your Premium monthly subscription fee will be automatically drawn and you can travel anywhere in the world. However, if you live in a new country, you'd need to update your payment method to one issued in the same country. This limitation is implemented, because the price of Spotify Premium differs in different countries and regions, so that the service is affordable for everyone.

You can read more about country and region settings here.

Hope you find this info helpful.
