Registration without credit card?

I do not own a credit card - in Germany, this is not unusual. At AMAZON (PRIME MEMBER!) I pay via bank account or paypal and thats' fine for all. I sign in via AMAZON so IMDb has already all my payment data. So why do IMDb need a credit card for creating an account whilst knowing my AMAZON-account? And whats about people without credit card? Thanks in advance and all the best!

@Sally​ OK, as far as I can see, those are ALL credit cards. Am I allowed to say: that this circumstance is really strange and not costumer-friendly! Even the smalles business is working with payPal today, so where's the problem - IMDb seems to be part of AMAZON and AMAZON accepts much more payment possibilities... It should be thought about accepting at least AMAZON-PAY as well to open your service to even more costumers worldwide... A lot of people would be thankful for this service, I guess....

I got the same problem here.. Is there a solution already or do I really need to get a credit card to create an IMDbPro account? I just checked, it turns out I can't even apply for a credit card on my account.... Are there no other ways to check my identity?

@Sally Okay, then I'm afraid I can't create an IMDbPro account.... Indeed not very customer-friendly and besides, you just miss out on money from people who don't have a credit card😅 Paypal would indeed be a good solution. At least this can be created by anyone, unlike a credit card. I hope something is done with this feedback! Also, do I necessarily need a credit card if I just want an IMDbPro Free account? I just want to claim my page, but for that they want to check my identity...
