## What it means

This is a deliberately chain neutral code. It covers a missing Stellar trustline, an unactivated account, and a bank account that has not completed verification, without leaking chain specific concepts into your integration.

## Common causes

* A Stellar destination has no trustline for the asset.
* The destination account does not exist yet or is below its reserve.
* A bank account is pending verification.

## How to resolve

The recipient must prepare the destination, then the intent can be retried. For crypto destinations that cannot be prepared in advance, consider settling to a ledger account instead and paying out later.

<Note>
  This code never means the destination is wrong. A wrong destination is rejected as `invalid_destination` at creation time.
