Petrol station customers across the UK are set to be affected by a new policy which will see them paying a "hold charge" of £100 before they fill up. Retailers say that the change is being introduced to ensure that people have the funds they need to make a purchase.
After taking payment for the fuel purchased, any unspent funds will then be given back to the customers. The new payment scheme has been trialled at dozens of petrol stations and is now set to be rolled out to every UK petrol station, WalesOnline reports.
The exact date for when the change will come into force has not yet been confirmed. Those with questions are being asked to contact their debit or credit card provider.
