Verify your account. You may need to provide your phone number, card details, or other information to verify your identity. Additionally, if your payment methods have not been verified, your transactions may decline.

Ask the cashier to ring up your card as a debit card. If you're being asked for a PIN or CVV, the cashier most likely selected the "credit card" payment option. To fix this, retry the transaction as a "debit card".
