What merchant advice code 30 means
The issuer expects funds within ten days.
Should you retry?
Wait ten days, then retry once.
Retry on signal, not on schedule. This is one of the declines Mastercard's
Payment Optimization Platform monitors. When the network sees that a retry is more likely to
approve, PaymentRetryAlert delivers a signed RETRY_NOW webhook so you can retry
through your existing processor at the right moment. See
the full guide to insufficient-funds declines.
