Why did my card payment fail even though money was deducted from my account?

Find out why your card payment might fail, what happens to the deducted funds, and how to resolve the issue.

If your card payment failed but money was deducted from your account, don’t worry—your funds are safe. When a card payment fails, the amount is temporarily reserved by your bank but is not transferred to us.

In most cases, the reserved funds are released instantly or within a couple of days, depending on your bank’s processing time.

Common reasons for failed card payments:

  • Incorrect card details

  • Insufficient funds

  • Security measures or restrictions applied by your bank

  • Security checks on our end during payment verification

  • Temporary technical issues

What to do next:

  1. Wait for the funds to be released: Your bank will automatically return the reserved amount to your account.

  2. Double-check your card details: Ensure all information is accurate before attempting the payment again.

  3. Contact your bank if needed: If the funds are not returned within a few days, reach out to your bank for more information.

  4. Consider using a different payment method: If the issue persists, try an alternative payment option.
