Why does my bank ask me to verify the payment?

No. This step is controlled entirely by your own card-issuing bank, not by our system.

Some issuers apply stricter checks to transactions from a different country or an unfamiliar merchant, but each bank sets its own threshold. We can't state the exact criteria your bank applies.

Try installing it if there's an internet connection available at that moment, or use a different card or payment method offered at checkout, and set the app up before the next trip.

We can't say for certain, since that depends on each issuer's own rules, but rapid repeated attempts within a short time can look unusual, so it's safer to pause before trying again.

Generally not, since the payment itself hasn't gone through, so no completed order is created. Check for a confirmation email to be sure, or contact us if uncertain.

That depends on the card issuer and the payment method chosen, not something we control. Some cards or methods may not require extra verification for a given transaction, but that's never guaranteed.
