Why is my card being declined?

Card declines usually occur because our business is located in the United Kingdom, causing some card issuers to block 'foreign transactions.'

Likely cause:

• Some card issuers initially block 'foreign transactions.'
• Some providers (like Venmo) don't support international transactions

Solutions to try:

• Contact your card issuer to allow international transactions
• For prepaid cards: Consider getting a virtual card from Privacy.com
• Try neobanks (Chime, Current, Varo) which typically accept foreign transactions

Privacy.com virtual card setup:

1. Create a free account at Privacy.com
2. Add your existing card as a funding source
3. Create a new virtual card
4. Add the virtual card to your Cuddle Comfort account
