Netflix BOI fraud issues.

    I have paid for Netflix from my BOI account for over a year with no issue. For the last 3 months I have received an email from the fraud department asking if I recognise the payment.

    This delay in payment causes a few days of not being able to access Netflix (first world problem).

    I contacted BOI about this, and have been informed that due to a large number of fraud issues around Netflix their system flags all payments.

    These seems a bit of a cop out to me, given the number of Netflix users, has anyone else who uses BOI and Netflix encountered this issue?

    The bank advised that the way around this is to pay through PayPal, as there are no plans to alter the system at this time.
