Why was my Chipper Card deactivated/revoked?

Your virtual card was revoked(deactivated) due to multiple instances of declined transactions specifically due to insufficient funds. Third-party providers charge Chipper for every transaction declined on your card. To maintain the sustainability of the virtual card product, we monitor the declined frequency of cards.

We understand that this deactivation may cause some inconvenience, and we apologise for the disruption. Unfortunately, we are unable to reactivate your old card. However, you may claim a new card. We encourage you to keep the card funded to avoid declined transactions on any recurring subscriptions you may have on the card.

What will happen to the funds that were on the deactivated card?

The funds on your old card were credited to your Chipper Cash wallet with the reference "Withdrawing all funds before permanently revoking card."

I was expecting a refund on my revoked card, what happens to that refund?

Unfortunately, pending refunds cannot be received by your revoked card. Please send us confirmation of the refund you are expecting so we can apply this refund to your newly claimed card or to your Chipper wallet balance (please note forex rates will apply where necessary).
