Tool · Bank-Rejection-Reason Decoder

What did
the bank actually mean?

You just got a rejection. Pick the category, then the specific phrasing the bank used. The decoder translates bank-speak to the underlying control concern, tells you whether the rejection is remediable, partially remediable, or terminal, and gives you the three priority moves to action before any re-application — plus where to apply next, framed as tier archetypes (no named institutions).

How to use
  1. Pick the category that best fits the rejection — start with the most specific one that applies.
  2. Select the closest specific phrasing. The decode appears on the right.
  3. Optionally paste the bank's wording — it stays on your device, used only for your own reference.

Numbers shown exclude finconduit fees and any third-party costs (legal, audit, regulator-mandated experts, banking-relationship fees, document-translation, ongoing supervisory levies, or local agent / service-provider charges). Real-world authorisation budgets typically exceed the headline regulator-side numbers by a meaningful multiple.
