What is credit card decline?
When a credit card payment is rejected or not authorized, it is known as a credit card decline. There are many reasons your card payment can fail – for example, the card has expired, or there are insufficient funds.
Possible reasons
- Wrong expiration date
Review the expiration date on your credit card. If your card expired, use another card. - Incorrect card details
Ensure that you have entered all card details correctly, including the card number, CVC, and expiration date. - Bank verification failed
Some banks require additional verification through SMS, email, or a banking app. If this verification is not completed, the transaction cannot proceed. Ensure that you have entered the confirmation PIN correctly. - Pop-ups are blocked
If pop-ups are blocked in your browser, your bank cannot display the verification window for the transaction. Uncheck block pop-up windows to disable the pop-up blocker in your browser and try again. - Lack of funds or hold on the card
It seems rather obvious, but if you doesn’t have enough funds in your bank account, or you have reached your credit limit, then there’s no money available to transfer.
Now you know the possible reasons why is your credit card being declined. By addressing these possible issues, you should be able to complete your transaction successfully. 🚀
