What is a pre-authorization?

Modified on Fri, 11 Oct, 2019 at 5:53 PM

A pre-authorization is a temporary hold of a specific amount of the available balance on a credit or debit card. This pre-authorization is an efficient method to make sure cards have sufficient funds.

It is important to note that this is not a charge and should disappear from the bank statement shortly
