Common reasons for payment problems
We use the payment details on your account to process your payment on or around the same day each month. If we got in touch to let you know a payment didn’t go through, it might be because:
There weren’t enough funds in your account
Your payment details are out of date
Your bank account’s been blocked
We couldn’t find any payment information on your account
What to do if your payment’s declined
We’ll normally try to process your payment again in the days after your usual payment day. If you’re not sure why the initial payment didn’t work, be sure to check the following:
That your payment information is linked to your Belong account. To do this, log into My Account > Manage mobile/internet > View and update payment method. There should be a bank account or credit card in the ‘Current payment method’ section.
That your payment information is up to date. To do this, log into My Account > Manage mobile/internet > View and update payment method and make sure the payment information at the top of the page is for an active bank account or credit card.
That there’s enough money in the bank account/on the card that’s linked to your Belong account.
That your bank hasn’t blocked transactions on the bank account or card that’s linked to your Belong account.
If everything looks right to you, get in touch with your bank to see if there’s a bigger issue at play.
