This is why your bank hates Blizzard.
WoW Insider reports that Halifax, a UK-based bank, is now declining auto-pay charges from Blizzard, citing increasingly common fraud and charge-backs as the reason.

It seems that keyloggers and phishers are not the only fraudsters infiltrating World of Warcraft. Halifax, a bank in the United Kingdom has ceased processing most transactions with Blizzard Entertainment. This measure was taken in response to increasing numbers of reports fraudulent transactions for WoW services. I had a similar issue with another bank based in the United States. That institution saw my recurring Blizzard charge as suspicious. Once I contacted them to verify my subscriptions my credit card was quickly returned to an active status.

Isn't this the same kind of thing that has happened recently with EQ2 subscriptions being fubar'd by the new billing system? At least in Europe anyway.
