Failed Auto Top-Up

Why did my auto-top up fail?

Why did my auto top-up fail?

If your auto-top up did not go through, the most common reason is that there were not enough funds on the company account when the system tried to process the top-up via direct debit.

Even if your auto top-up rule was triggered correctly, the top-up will fail if the funds cannot be withdrawn.

Make sure that:

  • There is sufficient balance on the company account

  • No banking restrictions prevent the direct debit


How auto top-up works

  • Auto-top up is triggered by Available to spend, which includes reserved amounts.

  • When the balance falls below your set threshold:

    • The account is automatically topped up with the amount you specified

    • If the top-up is not enough to reach the minimum balance, the system will continue topping up until the rule is satisfied


Other common reasons for a failed top-up

Weekend or banking delays

Auto-top up is processed via direct debit and only on banking days.
If the threshold is crossed during a weekend, it may take extra time for the funds to appear on the account.

Manual top-up

If you perform a manual top-up:

  • Auto-top up is temporarily paused

  • The system prioritizes the manual top-up


Auto-top up and credit

If your account has a credit limit, auto-top up automatically takes this into account.
You set up your rules in the same way as for a debit account.

Example:

  • Set the rule: “When available to spend falls below 10,000 SEK”

  • Top-up amount: 10,000 SEK

When the available credit falls below 10,000 SEK, auto-top up will trigger and top up the account with the specified amount.

No additional credit-specific settings are required — the system automatically considers your credit balance.


End-of-month considerations

  • At the end of the month, the system prioritizes credit top-ups.

  • Manual top-ups made around this time may be temporarily ignored.


Summary

Most failed auto-top ups are caused by insufficient funds on the company account at the time of the direct debit. Other factors that can affect the process include:

  • Weekend/bank delays

  • Manual top-ups

  • Credit top-ups at month-end

If the problem persists, check your settings or contact support.
