Buying android apps online

I tried adding my Arab Bank visa electron to Google Wallet, it's been denied (asked me to update info).
Should I get another card from the bank? probably one made for online shopping?
What other options do I have to buy from Google Play apps?
Thanks

You need to use a card with MasterCard written on it.
Visa electron will not work.

These 2 pages state that Visa Electron is accepted outside US:

When you'll get the card made for online shopping from the bank you'll see that it is MasterCard.
I think the block happens here in the banks for visa electron.

When you added your visa electron to your google account, google had no problem, it's after you tried to buy with it that the transaction was declined and you were told to update.

So yeah block is from the @$% banks here.

I applied for Internet Shopping card from Arab Bank (basically a separate limited account).
