Why was my Visa/MC debit card declined?

There may be insufficient funds or a limit on the amount allowed for an online transaction. Alternatively, your issuing bank may not allow an online transaction without them enabling it first. Please contact your bank for further details.

If this remains unresolved after speaking with your bank, please contact Payquad Support at 1888 385 9037 or info@payquad.com

Why was my direct debit payment returned?

You will be notified via email if a payment is returned and the reason for the return.

The most common reasons  for returned payments are:

  1. NSF- Insufficient funds in the account or funds that are not yet available to be withdrawn. Please confirm that you have sufficient funds in your account before attempting another payment.
  2. Edit Reject- You may have entered the wrong banking information. Either the account, transit or institution number. Please ensure that you have the correct information.
  3. Account not found- The account has either been frozen or doesn’t exist anymore.

Why was my credit card payment declined?

In most cases it is the banking institution and not Payquad that is declining your payment. It usually is for one of the following reasons:

  1. The credit card information was not entered correctly.
  2. There isn’t sufficient credit available to make the payment.
  3. The amount exceeds your account’s single transaction limit 
  4. The bank doesn’t recognize this payment. 

 

You need to contact your card company to gain authorization and then resubmit your payment through our portal.

How long will it take for my payment to be paid?

As soon as you make a payment your property manager is notified in real-time. Credit/debit card payments will reflect in your account in near real-time. Direct debit bank payments may take between 2-5 business days to leave your account and won’t be approved or declined until then.

Also, a Visa/MC debit payment will lock the funds for the payment immediately unlike the direct debit option.
