Rejected Status

When a rejected status is returned from the bank, it can happen for a few reasons. The most common are:

  • name of payee does not match with the name of the account you are going to be paying
  • fraud detection from the bank making the payment blocking the payment
    • This can be due to seeing too many small transactions during testing which get flagged up
    • sometimes transfers to cryptocurrencies get blocked due to fraud as well

We advise that if you see any payments returning with the status rejected you get the account holder of the user making the payment, to contact their banking provider to find out the reason for this. We unfortunately don't get any more information from the banks aside from the status and it would require the account holder to get the reason.
