– Exceeding transfer limits. Check your limits in the agreement we sent by email when you signed up.
– Incorrect recipient details. The beneficiary bank may have rejected the transfer if the recipient account details don’t match
– Recipient account closed. The account you’re transferring may not be able to accept SEPA transfers or may have been closed.

Why has my transfer been declined?
There could be some triggers activated for security reasons, for example, the first time you transfer to a beneficiary or the amount of the transfer exceeds the usual amount operated.
Probably you´ll have to send more information to do the transaction.

If the transfer is failed or declined, the funds will be returned to your Pilsenga account.
Why is my transfer still pending
Bank transfers could take up to 48 working hours to process.
It usually happens due to one of the following reasons:
– No processing by some banks on weekends and bank holidays
– Additional processing checks by our payments partner/recipient bank
– Requirement of additional information for processing. In this case our support team may contact you.
– Incorrect recipient details (beneficiary name, beneficiary account number, beneficiary bank BIC code/sort code, etc. ) that could delay the process.
