What Should I Do if Payment Authentication Fails?

When you encounter issues with a PSU's payment authentication, it's essential to follow a structured troubleshooting process. This FAQ will guide you through the steps to resolve common payment authentication failures.

Common Reasons for Payment Authentication Failures

  1. Insufficient Funds: The user's account may not have enough funds to complete the transaction.
  2. Incorrect Credentials: The user may have entered incorrect authentication details.
  3. Technical Issues: There might be temporary technical issues either with the bank or the Token.io service.
  4. Expired Session: The authentication session may have expired if the user took too long to complete the process.
  5. User Cancellation: The user may have accidentally or intentionally cancelled the authentication process.

Recommended Actions for the PSU

  1. Verify Funds: Ensure there are sufficient funds in the account to complete the transaction.
  2. Check Credentials: Double-check that the login credentials and any additional authentication information are correct.
  3. Retry Authentication: Close the browser or app, clear the cache, and try the authentication process again from the beginning.
  4. Check for Notifications: Look for any notifications or messages from the bank that might indicate why the authentication failed.
  5. Contact Bank Support: If the issue persists, contact the bank’s support team to ensure there are no account-specific issues.
