What to do if your crypto order is not going through
If your crypto order is not going through, check your emails of text messages for possible authorization requests from your bank (check spam folder).
Buying crypto has higher fraud filters than other card purchases (similar to a cash advance w/o the cash advance fees). Therefore, ensure that your name and the billing address exactly matches as in your bank card statement.
Also, please ensure that you only have one order/form open in your browser (and not multiple forms).
What to do if you receive and email, text or app message from your bank requesting that you confirm that its you (not fraud)
First, confirm that request.
Then, try again and redo the crypto order.
Note: You will not be double charged because your bank flagged and denied the previous funding order, so you will need to redo it in order to buy crypto.
