Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I chose this method, but the payment was rejected. Why?
A: We recommend following these steps:
Make sure that your card details are entered correctly, and that the card is active and has not expired.
If payment is made to the card in rubles, then additionally make sure that the card is issued in Russia
If the card details are correct and the card is active, contact the bank that issued the card to find out the reasons for the payment rejection
Make sure your card is a debit or credit card, prepaid cards are not accepted.
Q: How are funds transferred to a bank card? What is the purpose of the payment?
A: To send funds to the card, the direct deposit method is used using Visa Direct\Mastercard Moneysend. This type of transaction is called OCT - Original Credit Transaction. In this case, funds are credited directly to the card, without using the SWIFT system.
For these types of transactions, it is not possible to specify a payment description. How the payment will look on the statement will depend on many factors (including the country, the card issuing bank).
Q: What should I do if the payment is listed as successfully sent in my personal account, but the funds have not been credited to the card?
A: We recommend following these steps:
Please make sure that you have linked the same card that you expect to receive funds to.
Check your card statement. You may not have received a credit notification, but the money was received on your card.
Contact our support team. Along with the request, we recommend that you send your card statement, which should clearly show your name and the last 4 digits of your card, and the date of the statement request should be from the date the payment was sent to the current date.
Follow the advice of the support team.
If, according to Smartcat, the payment was successful, then we will provide you with ARN and RNN codes as proof of payment. RRN (Reference Retrieval Number)/ARN (Acquirer's Reference Number) are unique identifiers assigned by the servicing bank when the payment is initiated.
