Refused by card issuer

I tried to pay online and got an error message stating my payment was "refused by card issuer". What does that mean? In the vast majority of cases this usually indicates either of the following

  • Limits or restrictions on the card (most often geographical restrictions)
  • You have a card with no access to online payments
  • Not enough money available in the account

Please contact your bank and let them help you assess the problem.

Please avoid cancelling the payment transaction before it has been processed:

If the payment page is in Swedish make sure to choose "betala" (pay) and not "avbryt" (cancel). If it still does not work please explain the problem, make a print screen of what happens when you fail to pay and send it to luacc [at] service [dot] lu [dot] se.
