Payment method keeps getting declined
A declined payment is caused by a wrong billing address, an expired card, or your bank blocking the transaction for security. Double-check that your billing address matches your bank's records exactly, then try again. If it still fails, call your bank — they're the ones blocking it.
When your payment is declined, it means your bank or card company said no to the transaction. The three most common reasons are: your billing address doesn't match what the bank has on file, your card has expired, or your bank flagged the transaction as suspicious. Fixing the address or calling your bank to approve the transaction solves it.
- ✓Have your physical card in front of you so you can check the number, expiry date, and CVV
- ✓Have a recent bank statement handy so you can confirm your exact billing address
- ✓Have the phone number on the back of your card ready

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Typing the billing address differently from what the bank has — 'Street' vs 'St' or 'Apartment' vs 'Apt' is enough to fail
- Trying the same payment five times in a row without fixing anything — repeated failed attempts can trigger a fraud lock
- Not checking if the card has expired — it's the simplest fix but people overlook it
