List of Bambora error codes


It often happens that transactions are not completed. When a transaction is in error, you could either reprocess the payment. Chances are the payment will fall in success if there is no issues with the clients card, or an error message will pop up with the reason for the refusal. There is always the option of accessing your Bambora portal to verify the error code associated with the transaction. 


The most common are:

  • Decline / Refused (the customer must contact his bank)
  • Invalid expiration date (the customer must enter their new credit card information)
