Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) has advised that some applicants attempting to pay for a skills assessment using credit cards issued by banks in certain countries are experiencing a declined payment error.
The issue stems from how TRA’s third-party payment provider is applying requirements under international sanctions frameworks, specifically in relation to the Zimbabwe sanctions framework administered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
TRA has confirmed it is working with key stakeholders to resolve the issue so that legitimate payments can resume as soon as possible. The problem is currently affecting only payment cards issued by banks in countries covered by the relevant sanctions framework – cards issued by banks in other countries continue to work as normal.
