      Understanding Declined Charges

      Your debit card could be declined for a variety of reasons. The following are some of the most common explanations as to why a debit card might be declined.

      Top Reasons for a Declined Debit Card

      • Insufficient funds: Your debit card can only go through with the funds you have available on your account. Please double-check your available balance and use your debit card only for that amount. If you swipe your debit card for more than that amount, even by a penny, it will be declined.
      • Credit Card Machines: Point of sale credit card machines are typically coded in a general way according to the nature of the business processing the payment. If the provider or merchant you're using doesn't sell FSA-eligible services on a regular basis, you could get declined charges.
        • Some physicians' offices, for example, use billing companies, and that company may not be listed as a medical provider, resulting in a decline. For guidance on manually filing a claim for an eligible service, please visit our claims filing section below.
      • Square, Intuit, PayPal: These merchant devices are attached to the Provider’s smart phone/device (i.e., iPhone or Android) for credit cards acceptance, but they are not always configured to allow FSA cards to be used. The MCC (Merchant Category Code) for these transactions is not always correct or unique. You will have to file manually if it is not approved.

      Please use the Live Chat below to speak with one of our agents if you don't see your reason for a declined charge mentioned above.
