Changes are set to be made to the way people pay for fuel when they fill up at supermarkets and pay-at-pump stations across the UK.
Motorists will incur a 'hold charge', which will automatically place a temporary charge of up to £100 on customers' payment cards once they present their card. The move is said to ensure people have the funds they need to make their purchase.
Once retailers have taken payment for fuel purchased, any unspent funds will be released.
