HOW OUR PRE PAY PUMPS WORK
WHY SOMETIMES A PRE-AUTHORISATION APPEARS ON YOUR ACCOUNT
When using our pre-pay pumps, a pre-authorisation amount may be placed on your Credit or Debit Card by the card merchant services provider. This is not a charge from Monread Fare.
The pre-authorisation is a temporary hold on the funds and no payment has been taken from your account. Once your fuel purchase has been processed, the hold is automatically released and any remaining amount is returned to your available balance.
This is automatically released but it can take up to 10 days, depending on your bank.
What is pre-authorisation?
Pre-authorisation is applied by your bank or card provider, not Monread Fare. When you use a pre-pay pump, a temporary amount may be held on your Credit or Debit Card to confirm that the card is valid and available for payment.
This is sometimes referred to as a ‘shadow transaction’. The amount is not an actual charge and does not leave your account. Once your fuel payment has been processed, the pre-authorisation is automatically released.
Depending on your bank, it can take up to 10 days for the funds to become available again. If you have any questions about a pre-authorisation on your account, please contact your bank or card provider directly.
Why We Use Pre-pay?
Due to customer demand and to provide a faster, more convenient service, customers can choose to pre-pay at the pump by card or pre-pay inside the building.
Pre-pay allows customers to refuel, park in our large customer car park and make use of our facilities without having to return to their vehicle to move it. Alternatively, customers can visit the building first, use the facilities and then refuel without needing to return inside to make payment.
Our pre-pay options are designed to make your visit easier, quicker and more convenient.
