Many people ran into similar issues with Meta’s developer account setup recently, so you’re not alone. A few things that might help:
Phone verification glitches: Even if your number is already linked, Meta sometimes forces a fresh verification. Clearing cache/cookies or trying a different browser (Chrome/Firefox/Edge) can sometimes bypass the blank page issue. Using incognito mode has also worked for some people.
Payment method restrictions: The “Indian bank credit cards not allowed” error is indeed tied to RBI rules around recurring payments. A workaround is to add an international card (Visa/Mastercard issued outside India) or a PayPal account if available. Meta seems to accept those more reliably.
Trust signals: Since Meta heavily weighs account trust, make sure your personal account is fully set up—profile picture, activity, and linked business assets. Some developers reported success after briefly running a small ad campaign to establish payment credibility before retrying the developer account creation.
Support channel: If none of the above works, the most direct path is raising a ticket through [Meta Business Help Center]. It’s slow, but they can manually review and clear verification blocks.
It’s definitely more complicated than it used to be, but persistence plus the right payment method usually gets it through. If you manage to solve it with a specific workaround, please share back—it’ll help a lot of us stuck in the same loop.
