When you use a payment card to unlock the pump via the terminal of a petrol station, an amount is reserved on your account because the amount to be paid is not yet known. This amount can be compared to a deposit (also called pre-authorisation). This is so at every petrol station in Europe and in line with European legislation.
The amount can be a maximum of €375. As soon as you finish refuelling, the reserved amount will be released and your account will be debited with the exact amount of your refuelling. This normally takes a few minutes. If it takes longer, you can always contact your bank so they can release the amount. We do not reserve this amount and cannot release it.
