visa mastercard visa electron maestro solo visa delta jcb.gif - 646 Bytes

The authorisation process is carried out by your bank, WorldPay and Bridport Prize have no part in the subsequent decision. The decline message is sent to WorldPay by the bank with no explanation nor justification. The reason for a decline is often to do with incorrect information entered by you, which does not relate to your card.

For example,

Wrong issue number
Wrong expiry date
Wrong valid from date
Wrong security code etc

If you still have problems we advise you to contact your card issuer to find out more information. If you need to pay for the goods by alternative means then please contact us.
