⚠ The Problem in One Line
Perspective (the funnel builder platform from Germany) only supports SEPA-based payment methods (eurozone bank accounts or cards tied to EU IBANs).
👉 That means:
If you’re in Nigeria and your debit/credit card isn’t SEPA-enabled (i.e., it’s a naira or USD card issued by a Nigerian bank),
Perspective’s payment gateway (Stripe EU) will reject your trial signup, even if it’s a “free trial.”
Because — and here’s the catch — even “free” trials often require a €1 authorisation hold on a valid SEPA-compatible card.
💶 Why SEPA Acceptance Matters (for Perspective)
Perspective’s billing system is based in Germany 🇩🇪.
Stripe DE uses SEPA to verify and later charge recurring subscriptions in euros (€).
So all payments need to come from:
A European-issued Visa or Mastercard, or
An account with an IBAN in the SEPA zone.
Hence Nigerian (and many African) cards simply fail verification.

🔍 Why You Need This Guide
Perspective is a powerful mobile-first funnel builder from Germany that requires a SEPA-compliant payment method (EU bank or card) to activate a free trial.
Most Nigerian cards are not SEPA-enabled, so they get rejected.
This guide shows a workaround for a successful signup by using Grey
Grey (recommended)
Step 1: Sign up at https://grey.co.
Verify your account (passport recommended).
Step 2: Open a Euro (EUR) wallet.
Grey provides an IBAN and a virtual card.
Step 3: Add at least €10 to the card balance.
Step 4: Use that card for Perspective’s trial activation page.
✅ SEPA accepted.

💳 Option 2 – Payoneer (Freelancer Alternative)
Step 1: Sign up at https://www.payoneer.com.
Step 2: Get your EU receiving account (Germany or Ireland).

Step 4: Use that card on Perspective’s signup page.
✅ Great option if you already use Payoneer for Fiverr or Upwork.
