I received the paper invoice today. (I only gave the permission in my own bank for e-billing after the invoice had been generated. Luckily there's no monthly fee on this invoice for a partial month)

Thanks, will drop them a message then!

It seems the 5k limit is a per day total not a single transaction as I was just denied on a 3.8 charge at the grocery store after making a couple of bigger purchases 🤪 I guess I have to call or chat with them to remove that silly limit

Better half had this exact same problem. Card working fine via Google Pay but the physical card getting declined no matter what.

Aktia declined my application but didn't bother to tell me anything. Also they won't tell me any hints why. F them.

Its cryptic these cards sometimes.
I have a friend who I have referred several times various cards, and he has pretty ordinary consumer and family profile and decent earnings too, but he is pissed being rejected every time too. Except the everymans green magic visa😁

They have a "feature" in the issuing flow that activation of virtual card seem to mess up the physical card activation for quite a few persons. Message them in the app and they fix it. Wonder why they can not do it as batch because it is basically preventing card usage and now CS is likely flooded with these requests.

Sounds like a perfect fit for AY.

I tried to get AY Diners Club 3 times and always declined. My solution was to get the wife to sign up and give me a secondary card.

I have to remember to contact aktia as this 5000 daily limit is quite annoying 😩

And no way to change it online

Another odd quirk with Aktia is they count the daily limit by day of setteling and day of hold so for example

Charge made yesterday for 3000 you can use 2000 the rest of the day as there is a hold for 3000 (katevaraus)

So the charge finalizes the next day or following day then you can once again use only 2000 that day as the3000 is counted on that days limit too... 🤷‍♂️ annoying
