Why was my card declined?
Category: Buying Crypto
Answer
Common reasons: (1) your bank blocked the crypto purchase — call them to authorize it, (2) insufficient funds, (3) card not enabled for international payments, (4) 3D Secure verification failed, or (5) daily spending limit reached. Try a different payment method or contact your bank.
About this answer
Buying crypto on Swaps means choosing a coin, payment method, country, and amount, then comparing eligible live quotes for that combination. Swaps surfaces the final receive amount, accounting for spread and provider costs. Some corridors may support lighter verification below provider thresholds, while higher amounts or specific countries can trigger the provider's identity check. The receive address goes straight to your wallet after provider execution — Swaps never custodies your crypto.
