Are you having issues paying for Duolingo English Test? It's because of the spending limits placed by CBN on dollar expenses. Your cards won't work for payments above $20 for most banks.

Because of that, you may not be able to pay with your ATM Cards. But no worries.

I can help you with a few benefits I received from Duolingo. The number of people I can help is limited, though.
