What if a contactless payment card is not being read?

The performance of contactless cards can vary based on the card design, such as the card material or the location of the antenna. As a result, some cards connect more easily than others.

Try the following to ensure a successful card read:

  1. First, ask the customer to hold their contactless payment card directly on the device with the chip on the left side and the longer side of the card lined up with the edge of the tap area for several seconds.
  2. If the card still doesn't read, ask the customer to slide the card to center the chip directly over the notch on the device.

When a customer taps their card, the interface displays a “Try a Different Card” or “Unable to Read Card” error. What does this mean?

This means that the customer is using a contactless card that is not supported. For example, an international customer may have a card that isn't widely accepted outside their region.

I used my ScanPay Visa debit card to purchase $20 of gas. However, I see $50 hold in my banking account. Why have I been charged more?

You need not worry at all. You will be charged $20 only.

Let us explain – When you use a credit or debit card to purchase gas, there is an authorization hold placed on the card. Gas stations and card issuers place holds to ensure full payment for the gas purchase because they do not know at the beginning of the transaction how much gas will be purchased. In your case, the $50 hold will remain until the transaction clears, which can take 48-72 hours.

Ultimately, you will be charged $20 only.

I authorised a transaction, but the amount is incorrect. What should I do?

No worries, we can help navigate through some options. If you’re able to communicate with the merchant directly and have them investigate as to why you were charged incorrectly, then that would be our best recommendation.

More times than not, they can identify the discrepancy and correct the amount charged for you.

I used my ScanPay Visa debit card to purchase $20 of gas. However, I see $50 hold in my banking account. Why have I been charged more?

You need not worry at all. You will be charged $20 only.

Let us explain – When you use a credit or debit card to purchase gas, there is an authorization hold placed on the card. Gas stations and card issuers place holds to ensure full payment for the gas purchase because they do not know at the beginning of the transaction how much gas will be purchased. In your case, the $50 hold will remain until the transaction clears, which can take 48-72 hours.

Ultimately, you will be charged $20 only.

The performance of contactless cards can vary based on the card design, such as the card material or the location of the antenna. As a result, some cards connect more easily than others.

Try the following to ensure a successful card read:

  1. First, ask the customer to hold their contactless payment card directly on the device with the chip on the left side and the longer side of the card lined up with the edge of the tap area for several seconds.
  2. If the card still doesn't read, ask the customer to slide the card to center the chip directly over the notch on the device.
  3. If the contactless card remains unread without any feedback from the interface, the card might have a damaged antenna or might not work with contactless payments.

When a customer taps their card, the interface displays a “Try a Different Card” or “Unable to Read Card” error. What does this mean?

This means that the customer is using a contactless card that is not supported. For example, an international customer may have a card that isn't widely accepted outside their region.

What if a contactless payment card is not being read?

The performance of contactless cards can vary based on the card design, such as the card material or the location of the antenna. As a result, some cards connect more easily than others.

Try the following to ensure a successful card read:

  1. First, ask the customer to hold their contactless payment card directly on the device with the chip on the left side and the longer side of the card lined up with the edge of the tap area for several seconds.
  2. If the card still doesn't read, ask the customer to slide the card to center the chip directly over the notch on the device.
  3. If the contactless card remains unread without any feedback from the interface, the card might have a damaged antenna or might not work with contactless payments.
