*A For contactless credit and debit card transactions, a pre-authorisation amount of £55 will be charged by your bank to ensure it’s available for you to pay with. If you have mobile banking, you may see this amount pop up. When you finish charging, we inform your bank the actual amount spent, they deduct it, and arrange to unreserve the pre-authorised amount.
This process can take a few minutes to a few days depending on your bank.
