Why is my ATM showing transaction declined?

A common reason for a card being declined is a balance that is too low to support the requested transaction. You may have less money in your account than you thought, or a previously-made transaction, like a deposit, may not have cleared. Take into consideration both your request and the associated ATM fee.

Why is my card being declined all of a sudden?
