When a fuel transaction is finalised, Fuelcharge immediately instructs your bank to the release its hold on any unused funds and make these available to you. The time-period for the bank hold to be released depends on your bank. For some banks, this may be one day. However, there have been instances where the bank has taken up to seven (7) days to honour Fuelcharge’s instruction and release its hold.

In many cases, you may be charged more than once where you have had to pre-authorise additional transactions. This may be because the bowser timed-out before you dispensed your fuel. When a timed-out fuel transaction occurs, Fuelcharge immediately instructs your bank to release its hold on the pre-authorised funds. Upon the bank releasing its hold, these funds will be available to you and the hold will not appear on your bank statement.
