- Balance too low
Check whether the balance of your debit account is too low to make the payment.Make sure that there’s enough money in your UBS account or on your prepaid card, and check whether you’ve reached the limit on your credit card. Try again.
The recipient has blocked you
The recipient can block you if they use a TWINT app that isn’t UBS TWINT. You cannot transfer money to users who’ve blocked you. The best course of action is to contact the recipient directly so that they can unblock you. UBS TWINT doesn’t allow you to block other users.
Recipient account blocked
You cannot transfer money to users whose UBS TWINT accounts have been blocked. Only the recipient can reactivate their UBS TWINT account. The pending payment is automatically canceled if the recipient doesn’t register within four days.
Recipient not registered
If the recipient hasn’t yet registered for TWINT, you can send them an invitation to use the app via text message. The pending payment is automatically canceled if the recipient doesn’t register within seven days.
