There are several potential reasons for rejection, including but not limited to the following:

1. Your card isn’t activated or fit for e-commerce purchasing.
2. You have prior commitments to your bank/telecommunications company and/or are flagged by Simah/Al Etihad Credit Bureau (AECB).
3. You have overdue payments with Tamara.
4. Tamara’s intricate risk system considers the value of your purchase too high.
5. The value of the items you’re trying to buy exceeds the allowed purchase limit.

If none of the above reasons apply to you, please try again with a different card.

As long as you make your payments on time, you’ll never be charged a late fee!

However, if you miss a payment due date, Tamara charges a late fee of AED 25 one day after the due date.

An additional late fee of AED 25 will be charged with every 15 days of delay. Fees are limited to AED 150, or 25% of the order value (the minimum of which will apply).

Download the Tamara app to get payment reminders and easily keep track of your payments.

Please note: Repeated delays in payment will be reported to the credit bureau in AECB in the United Arab Emirates. This will impact your credit score and lead to the suspension of your Tamara account until your entire overdue amount, including late fees, is paid in full.
