Oh no! That can be frustrating. In such cases, Alaan will send you an email detailing the transaction and explaining why it was declined.

You can also check the reason for the failure directly from the Alaan mobile app, here’s how:


Step 1: Open the Alaan Mobile App and navigate to the Expenses menu.

Step 2: At the top of the screen, you'll see a filter labeled Failed. Tap it to view only your declined transactions.

Step 3: Select the specific declined expense you'd like to investigate.

Step 4: Once you open the transaction details, you'll see the reason for the decline displayed on the same page.
