VISA and MasterCard credit cards are accepted as valid payment cards for Sesam Sesam accounts, as well as some VISA debit cards.
A transaction can have three different statuses: pending, charged and failed. Completed parking visits will be visible in your account immediately after parking with the status “pending”, meaning that the transaction will be processed by our payment provider shortly.
Transactions with the status “charged” have a green icon, meaning the payment has been processed successfully.
Transactions with the status “failed” have a red icon indicating an error. The failed status means that the transaction has been rejected due to payment issues or technical errors.
A payment transaction may fail due to payment issues (i.e. insufficient funds, a blocked payment card, transaction rejected by card issuer) or technical issues. The transaction will be retried within a few working days. If the transaction fails repeatedly, the account may be blocked and an invoice will be sent to the registered owner of the vehicle for any pending payments. Please note that such invoices will include an invoice fee.
Transactions for parking visits made with a Sesam Sesam account are processed daily by our payment provider. The total amount charged is the sum of all visits made the previous day.
