### FAQs

1. **What card networks are supported?**
Glomo supports major card networks such as Visa, Mastercard and Amex.
2. **How secure are card payments?**
All card transactions go through 3D Secure (3DS/OTP) where mandated, ensuring an extra layer of protection. Glomo is PCI DSS compliant and adopts industry leading practices in storing data.
3. **How long does it take for refunds to reflect?**
Refunds initiated by Glomo usually take 4–7 business days to reflect on the customer’s card statement, depending on the issuing bank.
4. **Why was a payment marked as failed even though the customer was charged?**
If Glomo does not receive the authorization response in time, the payment may be marked as failed. In such cases, once reconciliation confirms the success, Glomo automatically refunds the payment.
5. **Can customers retry a failed card payment?**
Yes. Customers can retry the payment by re-entering their card details or using an alternative card. If the failure was due to bank-side issues (e.g., insufficient funds), retrying after resolving the issue should succeed.
6. **Are there transaction amount limits?**
Yes. Glomo currently enforces a maximum transaction limit of USD 16,000 (or the equivalent in other currencies) for card payments. In addition, individual banks and card networks may impose their own daily or per-transaction limits. If a transaction exceeds these limits, the payment may be declined by the bank or card issuer, even if it is within Glomo’s limits.
