Because pay-at-pump machines charge a final amount a few days after the first transaction, your account could be charged an amount that’s more than your current balance.
This could result in your balance being reduced to a negative figure, which is called an unauthorised overdraft. You would then be unable to use your card until the negative balance was cleared. ![]()
We want to make sure that you’re always able to use your card, so we may decline pay-at-pump transactions if there isn’t enough money in your account to cover the potential cost.
I hope that makes things a bit clearer ![]()
Please don’t ask us to do that
COps find it much easier to diagnose issues when you give them a clear description of what is going on, and it will be much quicker for you too! ![]()
