ProGrowth Check Card Holds and Pre-Authorizations
When you use your
ProGrowth Check Card, authorization is needed before they will
accept it for payment. Once the transaction is approved, the balance
in your checking account is reduced or “blocked” by the amount of
the purchase. This is known as a pre-authorization hold. The
merchant determines the hold amount. Typically the hold stays on
your account until funds are transferred to the merchant, often 3-4
days. If you look at your account online it shows as a pending
transaction.

Pre-authorization holds.
In the first example, the merchant is only
holding $1.00 of the total purchase. Some merchants will hold $50 or
$100 depending on what is being purchased.
In the second example, the merchant is holding
funds for the entire purchase.
How do pre-authorizations work?
In a few situations, the dollar amount of the
transaction is unknown when an approval is given. This may happen
when you check into a hotel room, rent a car*, pay for gas at the
pump or use your check card to pay for your meal at a restaurant. In
each of these transactions, the merchant may get approval for a
higher (estimated) amount – allowing for a tip, room service,
additional or higher purchase amounts.
Let’s say you have $60 in your account when you
use your check card to pay for gas at the pump. Since the purchase
amount is unknown when you insert your card, the merchant requests
an authorization for $50. The authorization causes a hold to be
placed on your account for $50 and your available balance is reduced
to $10. If you only purchased $20 in gas, you may believe you have
$40 available in your account. Unless you understand how a
pre-authorization hold affects your account, your check card could
be declined on any future transactions attempted while the
pre-authorization hold is in place. If checks or other transactions
are processed before the hold is released you may overdraw your
account and incur overdraft fees.
Want to know about pre-authorizations? Just
ask!
When you use your ProGrowth Check Card in a
situation where the merchant may estimate the charge (hotels, car
rental*, gas at the pump, restaurants, etc) use the following tips:
-
When a business asks for your card in advance
of service – ask if they will initiate a pre-authorization hold,
the amount of the hold and how the amount is determined. These
questions will help ensure the hold will not exceed your account
balance.
-
Pay the charges with the same card you used
when initiating the transaction. Ask the clerk when the hold
will be removed.
*Many rental car companies will not accept check
or debit cards.
