I got an error "payment refused" while paying. Why?

The EurILCA banking system is PostFinance/Checkout, a level-1 PCI DSS compliant provider of online payment services. The system will check the card validity and credits to pay over internet with the amount of the application/entry fee using 3D secure which could ask for a verification code through SMS or your customer care account. In case of error, this could be VISA/MasterCard because they blocked the payment considering it as hazardous operation or your own bank because your monthly/weekly limit is reached or your account is not allowing you to pay this amount over internet payment services.

Check first that the name entered in "cardholder's name" field is correct. By default this is prefilled with your first name and family name but you should correct it with the real name displayed on the card you're using.
Then check that your bank account contains enough money to pay and that you do not reached the limit you can pay weekly/monthly
Then check that your bank does not block payment over internet payment services or you reached the limit you can pay weekly/monthly for internet payment services
Finally, call VISA/MasterCard customer care number on your card (24/24h). You will instantly know what is the origin of your problem to solve it. (Your card or your bank)
