Why Was My Credit Card Declined?

Credit card declines can happen for a variety of reasons, and the issuing bank often does not provide specific error codes to merchants. In some cases, a card may work for general purchases but fail for certain types of online or international transactions.

If your card was declined:

• Contact your bank or card issuer directly to determine the reason. They can provide the most accurate and detailed explanation for the decline.
• Ensure your card supports online and international transactions, as Vultr charges in USD and operates globally.
• Confirm that your card has sufficient available credit and is not blocked for recurring or high-risk merchant activity.

As an alternative, you can retry the transaction using another supported payment method such as PayPal, or add a different credit or debit card to your account.
