If your top-up was successfully processed, you’ll receive an in-app notification confirming this, and the funds will be immediately available in your fiat wallet.
Although most card top-ups are processed instantly, some transactions may be subject to additional checks, which in turn may increase the processing time.
However, if your card or top up was declined, there can be a number of reasons for this.
We have collected the most common error messages and their explanations here: Card top-up: Error messages list.
Sometimes it can happen that a failed transaction appears as successful on your bank account. This happens when your card issuer blocks the funds to make them available for the beneficiary, but the beneficiary is unable to collect them due to technical issues that occurred during the transaction.
This process is called “preauthorization”, and in these cases your funds will be automatically released within 7-10 business days. No action is required from your side, and no fees are charged for unsuccessful top-ups.
To help you understand and hopefully also solve any issues that may occur when topping up your funds with a credit or debit card, we've listed the most common reasons for declined or failed transactions, and their solutions, here.
