Failed AVS Fund Holds

If a debit card or check card is used to make a purchase with CDE Software, and the purchase was not accepted for any reason (failed AVS or CCV verification), please be aware that most banks will hold the "authorized" funds (counting against your balance until the authorization clears) even if your order was rejected by our security measures. The most common reason for the failed transaction is that the billing address entered does not match the billing address for the debit/check/credit card being used for payment. Our Address Verification System (AVS) security measures will reject any transaction for a billing address mismatch.

CDE Software does not have the capability nor is not obligated to release the bank's temporary hold on authorized funds. Since we do not have the capability to release the bank’s temporary hold, we can not be responsible for the policies of the customer's banking institution regarding the holding of authorized funds. Please note that authorization fund holds last for varying periods, depending on the issuing credit card company's policy. The period may be as little as three days or as long as several months. We suggest that the customer contact the issuing credit card company or bank in order to resolve these types of situations.
