Petrol stations across the UK are set to change the way that people pay when using pay-at-pump services.
Supermarkets and petrol stations are set to introduce a new "hold charge" when people fill up their vehicles at petrol stations and pay at the pump. To ensure people have the funds they need to make their purchase, retailers will temporarily charge a customer's debit or credit card up to £100, then, after taking payment for fuel purchased, release any unspent funds.
The new payment scheme has already been trialled in a number of locations for the past few months, but now it will be rolled out to every petrol station in the UK. It comes as payment companies Mastercard and Visa have updated their policies, reported Wales Online.
