Payment and the review are separate.

Why did the bank decline?

My ad account was disabled after a payment failed

When a payment fails, Meta usually pauses ads until the balance is paid. If the account is disabled rather than paused, it is treated as a payment risk. Pay or settle the balance if the option is there, then request a review from Account Quality.
