BOI Mastercard won't work for online payments

    I have a BOI Mastercard that just constantly fails to make online purchases. I've called BOI about this a few times, but each time to no avail. The second last time they kept trying to say it was the fault of the online vendor. The online vendor actually sent me screenshots of their payment system and how it was being rejected on the BOI side. I got a letter of apology from BOI on this.


    Then today I really wanted to use my Mastercard for an online payment and once again it is rejected. I ring the main number (0818 365 365) and get through to someone. There was nothing wrong with how they handled me, but it was clear they were trying to get through their script ASAP. It was all just go check online 'that your device is primary' and get off the phone please. Of course my device was "primary" already and my subsequent attempt to make the payment failed.


    Is there some way to get through to level 2 or level 3 support on my Mastercard issue please?

    I have the exact same problem. I spoke with BOI team twice. The people on the phone don't know how to fix the issue. They said it must be an error on the retailer's side. I don't believe this because I have used the same site 50+ times. I have never experienced this issue with my old bank's Mastercard.


    My partner tried on her BOI Mastercard. Same problems.
