Authorisation Rates

For the complete documentation index, see llms.txt. Append .md to any page URL for its markdown version.

Applies to card payments in both products. See Supported Payment Methods for Hosted Checkout and the cards guide for the Native API.

When a customer pays by card, their bank decides whether to approve the payment. Some banks approve almost every crypto purchase and others decline most of them. The authorisation rate is the share of card payment attempts that the customer's bank approved.

Find your customer's bank below to see how likely a card payment is to go through, and where offering another payment method is worth it.

BandWhat to expect
🟢 90%+Card payments almost always go through.
🟡 70⁠–⁠89%Most card payments go through.
🟠 50⁠–⁠69%Between a third and a half of attempts are declined.
🔴 <50%More than half of card payments are declined. The banks listed here currently approve fewer than one in five. Offer another payment method where you can.

Rates as of September 2026. They change over time as banks update their policies. A bank that is not listed is not necessarily better or worse than the ones here. The list only covers banks with significant card volume on Banxa.
