My Direct Debit was declined

Potential reasons why your Direct Debit was declined

  • Insufficient funds in your account. Make sure you have available funds in the respective account
  • Incorrect account details used or provided to the merchant
  • Account limited. If your account is under review, outbound Direct Debits might be declined 
  • Unsupported country. You can only set up a Direct Debit in the country where your Revolut account is registered, regardless of which currency your account is in
  • Mandate unauthorised. For SEPA B2B Direct Debits, if there is no matching mandate uploaded in your account, the payment will be declined

How to pay after a Direct Debit payment was declined? 

Once a payment is declined, the merchant may attempt to collect the payment again a few days later. We recommend contacting the merchant directly to arrange a new payment.
