  • How to fix a failed deposit?

    Below you can find a list with the most common reasons for a failed deposit.

    • Double check that the credit card information you have entered is correct. You may have written a wrong number which will prevent our system from recognizing your card correctly.
    • Make sure your credit card has not expired. If this is the case, please try to use another credit card or contact your bank for additional assistance.
    • Some credit cards have limits for the maximum sum that can be deposited in a single transaction. If this is the case, we recommend depositing a smaller amount.
    • Try to deposit via a different payment method:

    If you tried to make a  deposit using a tokenised credit card that includes only the last 4 digits of your credit card, please try to reinsert your full credit card details from the start.

    A “Pending Deposit” item listed on your account applies to a recent deposit you may have made and that has still not been approved. If you see this item, this means that: (a) those funds are on hold while we verify them; or (b) that your account (and/or identify) requires additional verification.
