Common Payment Error Causes
Declined transactions can happen for a variety of reasons, including:
- Incorrect billing zip code
- Card verification issues
- Security restrictions placed by your bank
- Insufficient funds or credit limits
Even if the information appears correct, your bank may still block the transaction based on its own security settings.
Next Steps
- Contact your bank or card provider
- Provide them with the error code or message
- Ask them to authorize the transaction if possible
- Try submitting the payment again through your LetterStream account
