Authorization Holds for Debit Card Transactions. 1. What is an Authorization Hold? When you use your debit card to pay for goods or services, the merchant may seek preauthorization from us for the transaction. When we w e preauthorize the transaction, we w e commit to make the requested funds available when w hen the transaction finally f inally posts and as such, we w e generally place a temporary hold against some or all of the funds in the account linked to your debit card, based on the amount of the preauthorization request from the merchant. We refer to this temporary hold as an “authorization hold,” and the amount of the authorization hold will be subtracted from your available balance as authorization requests are received by us throughout each day.this 2. How Does an Authorization Hold Affect Your Available Balance? Until the transaction finally settles or we otherwise w e otherw ise remove the hold (for example, we w e may remove the hold because it exceeds the time permitted or we w e determine that it is unlikely unlikel y to be processed), the funds subject to the hold will w ill not be available to you for other purposes. At some point after you sign for the transaction, it is processed by the merchant and submitted to us for payment. This can happen hours or sometimes days after you signed for it, depending on the merchant and its processing company. We have no control c ontrol over when w hen a merchant may present an item for payment. Merchant payment requests are received in real time throughout the day and are posted to your account as they are received. 3. The Amount Am ount of an Authorization Hold May Differ From the Amount Am ount of the Actual Transaction. The amount of an authorization hold may differ from the actual transaction amount because the actual transaction amount may not yet be known to the merchant when w hen the authorization request is submitted. For example, this can happen in connection with w ith transactions where w here your debit card is authorized before your actual transaction amount is knownknow n, such as at a restaurant (where w here you may choose to add a tip to the transaction amount) or a gas station. For these types of transactions, there may be no authorization hold, or the amount of the authorization hold may be different from the transaction amount. In some other cases we w e may not receive an authorization request from the merchant, and there will w ill be no authorization hold reflected in your y our available balance. We cannot control how much a merchant asks us to authorize, or when w hen a merchant submits a transaction for payment. 4. Length of an Authorization Hold. We are permitted to place an authorization hold on your account for up to three ( 3) business days (or for up to thirty (30) business days for certain types of debit card transactions) from the time of the authorization or until the transaction is paid from your account. How ever, if the transaction is not submitted for payment, w e w ill release the authorization hold, w hich w ill increase your available balance until the transaction is submitted for payment by the merchant and f inally posted to your account. If this happens, w e must honor the prior authorization and w ill pay the transaction from your account. 5. Your Available Balance and Debit Card Transactions . Everyday debit card transactions are processed against your account at tw o different times: first, w hen the transaction is authorized, and again w hen the transaction actually settles to your account, usually days later. This delay betw een the time a particular transaction is authorized and w hen it actually settles to your account is solely w ithin the control of the merchant and its processor. The Credit Union has no control w ith respect to the time period that elapses betw een the time a merchant seeks authorization and finally submits the transaction for settlement. Exam ple 1: Purchase transactions w here the final am ount is initially unknow n . The most common examples of a purchase transaction w here the final amount is initially unknow n are gas station purchases, restaurant charges, hotel and car reservations. In such cases the transaction w ill be communicated to the Credit Union for authorization in one amount, but w hen the transaction actually settles your Account it does so for a greater amount. For example, if you use your debit card to pay at the pump for a gasoline purchase, you typically must utilize your debit card before operating the pump. The Credit Union may receive an authorization request in the amount of $15.00. At the time of the authorization request, the available balance in your account is $30.00, so the Credit Union approves the authorization request, and the available balance in your account is reduced to $15.00. You proceed w ith the transaction, and purchase gasoline totaling $40.00. When that transaction actually settles to your Account in the amount of $40.00 as opposed to the $15.00 that w as authorized, the available balance in your Account is not sufficient to Exam ple 2: Purchase transactions w here intervening item s paid betw een authorization and settlement result in the overdrafting of your Account . Assume the same gas station scenario as described in Example 1, except that you purchase gasoline totaling just $15.00, so the authorized amount of the transaction is the same as the settlement amount of the transaction.
