What does "invalid account number" mean?

An “invalid account number” would indicate that the credit card number is not entered correctly, or the account is not activated.

Please make sure that the card is active and re-enter the numbers without any spaces. If this is a purchasing card, you may need the address to match exactly depending on the card issuer restrictions. 

It could be something such as:

  • Purchase amount exceeds available credit limit
  • Card Verification Value does not match
  • Address verification does not match
  • International transaction
  • Unusual activity than your regular purchases
  • Multiple attempts

Try to use a different credit card, or contact the card-issuer to advise that you are trying to make a purchase in the amount of $___ to the Association for Financial Professionals in Maryland, United States.
