Below are the most common payment card failure reasons
1. Transaction declined by authorization system/Access denied to the authentication system :
This is a very vague reason that banks provide us, however, we do know that your bank has rejected the transaction
Contact your bank; ask them to approve transactions to Swipey.ai and "Whitelist" the merchant. (You may need to speak to your banks fraud team as general customer support are not commonly trained in resolving this)
2. Transaction declined (limit exceeded)/Access denied to the authentication system:
Not enough available funds were available in your account to successfully make the purchase
Add more funds to your account and try again
3. Transaction declined (suspecting manipulation)/ The transaction was declined due to suspected fraud :
Your bank/issuer has declined the transaction as there is a suspected fraud on this credit card number
Contact your bank; ask them to approve transactions to Swipey.ai and "Whitelist" the merchant. (You may need to speak to your banks fraud team as general customer support are not commonly trained in resolving this)

Enter your password with your bank when prompted, complete the transaction within 2 minutes and don't close the payment window

What's 3DS?
3DS stands for 3D-Secure and it's a security protocol used by issuers to authenticate users when making Online Payments. Designed to prevent fraud and unauthorised transactions, 3DS presents the user with a prompt from their issuer requesting verification via either a mobile banking app or an online password request from the issuer (confirming using two-step verification).
