Try Using Chip and PIN

If your contactless, Apple Pay or Google Pay transaction is declined, insert your card into the card reader and complete the transaction using Chip and PIN. This is often required as a security check and should restore your ability to make contactless and digital wallet payments.

Check your available funds

Open the Centtrip app to make sure you have enough available funds to complete the transaction.

Check your card limits

Review your card limits in the Centtrip app to ensure you haven't reached your spending limits.
