Issues linking a debit card

Updated over a week ago

Atlas uses a secure partner for instant payments, but issues can happen from time to time. No stress—Smart Pay is always a reliable backup.

Common errors and what they mean

  • Card registration failed

    • Make sure you’re linking a debit card, not a credit card.

    • Try reinstalling the app, then link your card again.

    • Still having trouble? Reach out to Support.

  • Limit reached

    • You may have reached the maximum number of debit cards linked.

    • Try again later or switch to Smart Pay.

  • An error occurred—please try again or talk to support

    • Double-check that your card details match your Atlas account info (name, billing address, etc.).

    • If anything’s off, reach out to Support to update your info.

  • Unexpected error

    • Take a screenshot and let Support know so we can fix it.

If instant payments don’t work, just switch to Smart Pay—it’s simple, secure, and always available.
