Google Pay is a reliable online payment platform that many users trust and use every day. However, it becomes a dilemma if you encounter an error when you use the Google Pay app. After trying to send a payment, you are given the “Payment Declined” or “Payment Failed” issue on the mobile app.

That means Google Pay did not successfully process your payment. It can be due to a myriad of different reasons why the payment is declined or the transaction failed. You may have an issue with your Google Pay account or maybe you have reached your daily transaction limit. It can also be a problem with your credit card or bank’s server or maybe, it’s also an issue with the Google Pay app itself.

Some of the error message you might encounter that comes with the issue include: “Your payment was declined due to an issue with your account”, “Unable to complete transaction”, or “Account error – Payment declined: try another bank account or call your bank (U16)”.

Are your payment details up to date? Is your credit card, bank information, or debit card data accurate and active? Sometimes, payment does not go through if there are problems with your payment details. You need to verify them and check if the details are correct. Go to https://pay.google.com/payments/#paymentMethods.

Solution #2 – Try Using Another Device

The problem may be with your device or the app you use. Try using another device to check if you can make a purchase. If you are using the Google Pay app on your smartphone, use your browser on your computer if you can make a successful payment. If yes, then the issue is with your app. You can reinstall it.

Google Pay keeps your transactions secured. If they see a suspicious transaction, they will decline the payment. You can check for requests or confirmation in the payments center.

  • On your browser, go to https://payments.google.com/.
