I know youāre referring to the staff in those things that did a shopping centre promo tour recently, but I think Iām gonna start referring to all Chase staff like this!
Monzo has Monzonauts, Chase has octagonal humanoids

Just noticed Chase failed when I tried to buy something from America denoted in USD, does Chase support international payments? I canāt imagine they wouldnāt but it was weird

Do you mean buying online in a foreign currency? Works for me whenever Iāve done it.
I just paid for my US visa last night and it went through at $14.00.
Iāve paid for a couple of software licences in USD online and not had a problem!
AliExpress in USD yesterday. Perfectly fine.
Hmmm strange! I was buying something from Stripe (the payments company, not using Stripe but from Stripe) and they didnāt like it.
I was really hoping that Chase was the problem and not Stripe, but it appears something is very weird here :S
Oh well! I paid with a different card anyway

Has worked fine for me, have purchased from Bandcamp in USD no problem.
Are direct debits supported yet?
Iām eager to give Chase a go as I like their app a lot but it wasnāt quite ready last time I checked. What they do have was polished though.
The sort code checker says they support direct debit and apparently people have been told January they will become supported
I wonder if the cashback offer will also apply to the direct debitsā¦
Would definitely be switching if cashback does cover direct debits

If they donāt extend it / offer an alternative theyāll experience a sudden drop off in customer numbers.
I use Chase for all my spending now just for the cashback, but it would be very easy to switch back to Monzo and my virtual cards.

Iād happily switch from Santander to Chase as a bills account if it came with cashback on debits or a switching offer like their US counter part. $225 to switch in USA.

I was using Chase for all card spending but have stopped after two failed payments. Both were subscriptions - one to Microsoft 365 Business and the other to Amazon Web Services. Never had an issue with any of my other cards.
Did you get in touch to find out why theyād failed?
There are so many reasons a payment can fail throughout the lifecycle that itās more likely chance that you experienced this with Chase.
Iāve never had a problem making card payments with Chase, but I have with Monzo, Santander and NatWest.
It wouldnāt be a reason for me to stop using a card - itās just part of the banking system and sometimes things donāt work as they should.

I didnāt - I had another card saved with both MS and AWS so just made that one the default and both payments went through. Tried setting the Chase as default again and it immediately said ācard declinedā.
Iāll try again tomorrow and contact Chase if it continues.
Another ācard been declinedā post. Tried to spend at Boots (online) and it didnāt seem to like it. Thatās my only one so far but it seems to be happening fairly frequently across the board with no clear reason.
Hopefully teething issues, I believe there was an explanation going around suggesting it was a sort code issue and that Chaseās code is not recognised by all retailers at present.
Not sure how much truth there is to that so donāt quote me.
Your sort code wouldnāt be an issue for a card payment.
Thereās probably no more card declines than normal itās just more noticeable trying out a new bank. Card payments sometimes just fail for one reason or another.

Presumably that would be the BIN range (Bank Identification Number, the first six digits of the card number) not being recognised everywhere, as opposed to the sort code (which would probably affect Direct Debits).
