As these retailers will not know how much your final bill will be, they will estimate it and place a hold on the estimated amount.

We will release any funds held as soon as we are made aware of the exact amount of the transaction. Payments at certain retailers including bars, restaurants and automated petrol pumps When using your card: • at certain retailers, including bars and restaurants, and you don’t authorise the transaction with chip and PIN or contactless method, you will need to have a card balance equal to the bill amount PLUS up to 20%; • to buy fuel at an automated fuel pump, you must have a minimum balance on your card. This is to ensure there are sufficient funds available to cover the final cost of the transaction (and any tips) and to reduce the risk of a negative balance on your card.
