List of Errors
The customer’s card issuer has declined the transaction as the account type selected is not valid for this credit card number. The customer should use an alternate credit card, or contact their bank.

Recommended Customer Message

This transaction request did not succeed, as the card issuer has declined the transaction as the account type selected is not valid for this credit card number. Try using an alternate credit card, or contact their bank.

Root Cause

  • Unsupported account type: The issuer does not allow transactions for the selected account type (e.g., credit vs. savings or checking).

  • Incorrect routing or configuration: The transaction was routed through an account type that is not enabled for the card used.

  • Card issuer limitations: The card itself is tied to a specific type of account that does not support universal transaction types.

  • Bank settings mismatch: The issuer requires explicit account selection and rejected the transaction when this wasn't properly defined.

Troubleshooting and Solutions

  • Inform the customer that their card issuer has rejected the transaction due to an invalid account type selection.

  • Ask the customer to:

    • Use a different credit card or payment method.

    • Contact their bank for more information about account compatibility.

  • Internally:

    • Verify that your integration does not force an account type that may not apply to all card types.

    • Enable clear account selection options for users where applicable.
