Payment Was Declined

Explains the most common reasons a payment might be declined on Fiatsend and how to resolve each issue

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Why Was My Payment Declined?

If your payment was declined, it could be for one of the following reasons:

  • Insufficient Balance: You do not have enough funds in your wallet to cover the payment amount plus fees. Add funds to your wallet and try again.

  • KYC Limits Reached: You have reached your daily or monthly transaction limit based on your verification level. Wait for the limit to reset, or upgrade your KYC level for higher limits.

  • Network Issues: A temporary network issue may have interrupted the transaction. Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • Invalid Recipient Number: The recipient's phone number may be incorrect, not registered on Fiatsend, or not associated with an active mobile money account. Double-check the number and try again.

  • Security Hold: In rare cases, a transaction may be declined if our security systems detect unusual activity. This is to protect your account. Contact Fiatsend Support if this happens.

What Should I Do?

  1. Check the error message displayed in the app for specific details.

  2. Verify your balance, recipient details, and KYC status.

  3. If the issue persists, contact Fiatsend Support with the transaction details.
