  • Insufficient funds: The customer may not have enough money in their account to cover the cost of the transaction.
  • Card expired: The customer's credit card may have expired.
  • Card blocked: The customer's credit card may have been blocked due to suspected fraud.
  • Fraudulent transaction: The transaction may have been flagged as fraudulent by the credit card company.
  • Technical error: There may have been a technical error with the payment processor.
  • Location: The transaction may be declined if the customer is trying to make a purchase in a country that is not supported by their card.
  • Maximum daily limit: The customer may have reached their daily spending limit on their card.
  • Minimum purchase amount: The transaction may be declined if the customer is trying to make a purchase that is below the minimum purchase amount for their card.

NFC Payment Limit: Typically customers use contactless payments through both debit and credit cards for up to S$200. What it meant was that a customer could tap and pay up to S$200, without the need to enter a pin or Signature.


If a transaction is declined, the customer should try again later or contact their credit card company for more information.
