Why is here no exact error message?

 

In the error logs are:

Any idea?

Hi @J-B,

Thanks for providing that information. This error is being returned directly by Stripe, and indicates that the address validation failed based upon the client's postcode/zip code: https://stripe.com/docs/radar/rules#traditional-bank-checks

Please have the client update their address details associated with the card (via the Pay Methods page) and try again.

So John, why not present the customer with a user friendly error message telling them to do that?
