Why has my debit card payment failed?


There could be many reasons why your payment might have failed. 

  • The debit card needs to be a valid UK debit card in your own name.

  • You don’t have enough money in your account. 

  • You made an error when you put in the debit card details.

  • The debit card has expired. 

It may be worth contacting your bank to see if it is blocking the payment or if there is a payment limit.

To try and make the payment again

  • if you have just tried to make the payment, there could still be a ‘Pay now’ link on the Cash statement page. Go to Transactions in the left-hand menu. Then choose the Cash statement tab. If you see the ‘Pay now’ link, choose that to try again

  • you can also try and pay again with 'Invest now' and follow the steps. Go to Investments in the left-hand menu and you will see an ‘Invest now’ button

  • you can also add cash from 'Payments' in the left-hand menu. Choose 'Add cash’ under Single payments. It will be available to invest the next working day

To check the payment has been successful

  • Log in to your account

  • From the left-hand menu, go to 'Transactions'.

  • Choose the 'Cash statement' tab where you can view your payment details.
