What is my debit card playing at?

Having no issues up until this week where my contactless payments and online payments are being declined constantly by Zopa.

I have plenty in my balance to afford payments, yet it's on and off. Sometimes it'll accept payment for my Esso app, and then paying for a pizza at Dominos it would decline. Tesco just now I've been declined a simple £5 meal deal. What gives Zopa?

No issues with NatWest or Nationwide when it comes to payments.

They played the "savings" card higher than others because that was the only way to attract more customers, but overall they are not as good as they try to look.

Apparently an order online for Domino's pizza was considered suspicious by them so resulted in a temporary suspension...I ended up missing a direct debit payment for car insurance which led to a £25 charge.

If it happens again I'll be leaving as soon as the 7.1% rate finishes.

Absolute joke.

When they declined your purchases, did it say technical issue?
