Why was my Mastercard card declined?Updated a year ago

Hello,

We understand your concern regarding the declined Mastercard payment. There are several common reasons why this might have happened:

Possible Reasons for Decline

  1. Insufficient Funds: Ensure that your card has enough available balance to cover the purchase amount.
  2. Card Verification: Many transactions require verification, especially for larger amounts. Check if your bank requires you to authorize the payment through their app or via SMS.
  3. Spending Limit: Your card may have a daily spending limit. You might need to raise this limit temporarily through your bank’s app or by contacting them directly.
  4. Card Restrictions: Some cards have restrictions on international transactions or specific merchant categories. Verify with your bank if your card has any such limitations.
  5. Incorrect Information: Double-check that all entered details such as the card number, expiration date, CVV, and billing address are correct.
  6. Expired Card: Make sure your card is not expired and that it’s still valid.
  7. Fraud Prevention: Sometimes, banks decline transactions for security reasons. You might need to contact your bank to approve the payment.

Steps to Resolve

  • Retry Payment: For a simple fix, follow this payment link to attempt the payment again. Ensure you enter the correct amount and use the same email address. 😊
  • Contact Your Bank: If the issue persists, contacting your bank can provide specific insights into why the transaction was declined.
  • Place a New Order: Alternatively, you can place a new order using a different card. If you place multiple orders, we will only process the one with a successful payment and delete the others.
