Troubleshooting ePay (formerly MOCA): Common Issues and Fixes
Here are common problems users encounter with ePay (formerly MOCA) and step-by-step fixes to get back to smooth payments.
1. App won’t open or crashes on launch
- Quick fix: Force-close the app, then reopen.
- If that fails: Restart your device.
- If still crashing: Update the app (App Store / Google Play). If already up to date, uninstall and reinstall the app — note: ensure you know your login credentials before uninstalling.
- Persistent issue: Check device OS version; update the OS if outdated. If problem continues, contact support and provide app version, device model, and OS version.
2. Unable to log in or “invalid credentials”
- Confirm credentials: Re-enter email/phone and password carefully; check for accidental spaces or wrong capitalization.
- Reset password: Use the app’s “Forgot password” flow and follow the reset link or SMS code.
- Two-factor/authentication issues: If you don’t receive codes, check SMS settings, network, and blocked senders. If using an authenticator app, ensure device time is correct.
- Account locked: Wait the lockout period or use account recovery; if needed, contact support with the email/phone on the account.
3. Payment failing or “transaction declined”
- Check balance: Ensure sufficient funds or linked card limits.
- Card details: Verify card number, expiration, CVV, and billing address match your bank records.
- Network/timeout: Retry on a stable connection (Wi‑Fi or mobile data). Avoid low-signal areas.
- Merchant limits: Some merchants block certain cards; try another payment method.
- Bank blocks: Contact your bank—fraud prevention may block unusual transactions.
- If recurring failure: Save transaction reference and contact ePay support with the reference, time, and amount.
4. Transfers or top-ups not showing / delayed
- Processing times: Allow the stated processing window (minutes to a few business days depending on method).
- Confirm transaction status: Check in-app transaction history for pending vs completed.
- Bank posting delays: Check your bank or card statement; sometimes processing completes on the bank side after the app updates.
- Contact support: If past the expected window, provide transaction ID, amount, and timestamps.
5. Unable to add or verify a card
- Accepted cards: Ensure the card type is supported (credit vs debit; network: Visa/Mastercard).
- Correct details: Re-enter card number, CVV, expiry, and billing address exactly as your bank has them.
- 3D Secure/verification: Complete any OTP or 3D Secure challenge from your bank.
- Card issuer restrictions: Some banks block third-party wallet linking—contact the bank.
- If verification fails repeatedly: Try another card or payment method and contact support with error details.
6. QR code scanning problems (paying or accepting)
- Camera access: Ensure the app has camera permission enabled.
- Lighting & focus: Improve lighting and hold steady; clean the camera lens.
- QR quality: Ensure QR is not distorted or partially obscured; try enlarging it.
- App update: Update the app if scanning features are buggy.
- Manual entry: Use manual code or merchant ID entry if available.
7. Notifications not received (payment confirmations, OTPs)
- In-app settings: Ensure notifications are enabled in the app.
- Device settings: Enable app notifications in OS settings and check Do Not Disturb mode.
- Network: Ensure a working internet connection.
- SMS issues: If OTPs come by SMS, check message filters or blocked senders.
- If missing confirmations: Verify transaction status in-app and save receipts or screenshots.
8. Account verification or KYC problems
- Document clarity: Upload clear, color images of ID and documents; ensure all corners visible.
- Match details: Ensure name and DOB match exactly with your ID and bank records.
- Supported documents: Use accepted document types and formats.
- Rejections: Review rejection reason, correct the issue, and resubmit.
- If stuck: Contact support and include the rejection message and your user ID.
9. App showing incorrect balance
- Refresh: Pull-to-refresh or reopen the app to sync.
- Pending holds: Account for pending transactions or authorizations that reduce available balance.
- Sync delay: Allow short delay for backend reconciliation.
- If mismatch persists: Provide recent transaction IDs and timestamps to support.
10. Security alerts or suspicious activity
- Immediate steps: Change your password, enable 2FA if available, and log out of other devices.
- Review activity: Check recent transactions and device sessions in the app.
- Report: Contact support immediately to freeze account or reverse unauthorized transactions.
- Follow bank guidance: Notify your bank if cards were compromised.
When to contact support (what to include)
- Provide: transaction ID, time and date (with timezone), amount, device model, OS version, app version, and screenshots of errors or receipts.
- Use in-app support/chat first (if available) for faster resolution; escalate to email/phone if needed.
Preventive tips
- Keep app and OS updated.
- Use strong, unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication.
- Regularly review transaction history and unlink unused cards.
- Only connect
