Troubleshooting Common Deposit Issues

Failed deposits commonly result from insufficient funds or expired payment methods. Verify card or wallet balances and validity before depositing. Confirm that your Botswana bank permits international online transactions.

Network interruptions during deposit submissions can cause failures. Use stable internet connections and avoid switching networks mid-process. Some local banks restrict deposits to international trading platforms; consult your bank to clarify.

Verification delays may also hinder deposits. Ensure document uploads are complete and clear to avoid processing delays. Prompt verification improves deposit and withdrawal speeds.

Cards may be declined due to international transaction blocks. Contact your bank to enable overseas online payments. E-wallet errors often relate to account limits or verification requirements; verify account status before depositing.
