Why was my credit/debit card declined?
If your credit or debit card was declined during the payment process, it could be due to several reasons:
- Insufficient Funds: Ensure that you have sufficient funds available in your account to cover the transaction amount.
- Incorrect Card Information: Double-check that you entered the correct card number, expiration date, CVV, and billing address associated with your card.
- Bank Restrictions: Some banks may have restrictions on certain types of transactions or purchases made online. Contact your bank to inquire if there are any restrictions or if they have flagged the transaction as suspicious.
- Security Measures: Your bank or card issuer may have flagged the transaction as potentially fraudulent if it deviates from your usual spending patterns. In such cases, you may need to verify your identity or approve the transaction through your bank's security measures.
- International Transactions: If you're making an international transaction, your bank may block it as a security measure. Contact your bank to confirm if they allow international transactions and if you need to enable this feature.
