Payment Response

Insufficient_funds 

Invalid_payment_method

Payment Response Description

Payment method has insufficient funds at the time of the transaction.

Payment method details are invalid. Please use a different payment method.

What It Means

At the time of the transaction, the customer did not have enough funds to cover the transaction.

Sometimes the bank will send us this reason code when they have identified fraudulent activity or transactions which are outside of the customer’s regular spend pattern.

The risk rules of the customer bank are outside of our control. The vast majority of transactions that generate this response code are due to genuine insufficient funds.

The BSB or account number is incorrect, and the bank is unable to match the details to any particular account.

Suggested Actions
​(For Integrators)

You can retry the transaction on a later date without having to recreate the payment method, but we would suggest not retrying on the same day. 

Please confirm with the business or customer what the payment method should be.

Do not attempt to retry the transaction until the payment method token has been recreated.

Once the payment method token has been recreated, you can schedule a retry.

Suggested Actions
​(For Merchants)

You can retry the transaction on a later date, but we would suggest not retrying on the same day as it’s unlikely that the customer would have enough funds available within the same day. 

Do not attempt to retry the payment. You should ask the customer for an alternative payment method. Retrying a payment with the same payment details will yield the same failed payment response.

Suggested Actions
​(For Customers)

Please ensure there are enough funds in your account before the due date of the next transaction. 

Please check that all details of the account provided to the business are correct. (E.g. Account Name,BSB Number, Account Number). Or you can provide the business with an alternate payment method.
