Safety & Security
We have fraud monitoring systems in place in the UK and internationally for our members’ protection. These systems may sometimes block certain payments if they look fraudulent, including transactions abroad. If you’re having trouble with a transaction or a payment is wrongly declined, please get in touch with our Member Support team via the in-app chat.
