The credit card transaction decline code 43, “Stolen card, pick up,” indicates that the payment card used in the transaction has been reported as stolen. The issuer of the card is requesting that the merchant retain the card if possible. This is a security measure to prevent further unauthorized use and to assist in recovering the stolen card. If you encounter this code, it’s advised to contact the card issuer and follow their instructions, which usually involve not completing the transaction and keeping the card if it is physically present.
