@MalagAste: lol, sorry but your bank seems quite behind the times. Times have moved on and it's not an uncommon occurrence to be billed from outside your country of residence these days when purchasing things online. Welcome to the 21st century.
My bank has occasionally questioned similar transactions too for this very reason. Thankfully they're smart enough to realize that I am authorizing a recurring payment to Company X who may bill me from seemingly different payment houses on occasion. Once I informed them about it once, they never questioned those transactions again because regardless of location they're all for the same amount to the same company. Your bank seems less smart and I'd have got very upset/dropped them ages ago if they kept blocking the same payment for arbitrary reasons.
Blaming EA's payment system is silly. Banks should be capable of handling the necessary variety of modern payment systems and their quirks these days particularly when dealing with international businesses and online transactions. If mine didn't, I'd find a new one that does. I wouldn't get annoyed with the business billing me though. I really don't care how they work or where they bill me from nor do I want to care. It's up to my bank to adapt and handle these things without pissing me off. Thankfully, in my case, that's exactly what they do.
