im using binance as an exchange.

Have you tried buying from Binance before? It should be possible unless your card is issued by some of the banks that stopped supporting binance/crypto transactions. I know there are a couple of them.

Alternatively, you can go with Coinbase: https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/getting-started/add-a-payment-method/how-do-i-buy-digital-currency-with-a-credit-or-debit-card-in-europe-and-the-uk

Have you tried passing the KYC process of the exchange if yes.. then the card payment system should work...
But let me ask what's the need of buying with card when you can use the P2P option which I think it will be way more better with just Bank transfer to an available vendor. No card authorization from your bank needed.

I would like to add to the replies of the others that even though Binance is a relatively okey exchange. It is only worth it if you are sure you are going to use it in the long term to buy and sell positions or to participate in the P2P market.

Because, the KYC process of Binance can be annoying, specially if you go through all the hassle for a single purchase of Bitcoin and you do not plan to use it again.

I don't know how other countries' owned are designed to be. but I can say from my country (Nigeria) that it's simple and easy to pass. Just choose either your BVN (bank verification number) or any of your valid ID cards, from National ID to a passport. I always suggest the BVN part, for it's the fastest for verification; after that step, it's just the fiscal verification that takes only a few seconds to verify that you are a human, and that's all. 

Here in Latin America seems to be different. For example, binance does not have official collaboration with banks in my country, so we cannot do fiscal verification, we can only use ID's and P2P.

When I signed up on binance it was rather fast, took one day, but friends of mine have had problems with the camera during facial verification and also it took them several days for them to received the approval of the staff. Perhaps, it was just Binance team being over-whelmed by requests during the bull run of a few years ago, however I still stand to share those experiences so people can keep them in mind.

Even if the process is shift and simple, it is not worth it to provide one's personal info to a service one won't use enough to justify it.

OP, have you used your card to buy bitcoin on Binance before? If not, then here is the guide (https://www.binance.com/en/blog/all/how-to-buy-bitcoin-in-the-uk-a-binance-guide-360742174705864704), but if you have and it is not working again, kindly note that recently, some UK banks have put restrictions on users interacting with a crypto exchange, and that may be the cause of the issue.
