Why Do I See An Additional Pending Amount Being Held on My Card?
When using your Brink's card at certain Merchants, you may see an extra amount held pending when your transactions are initially authorized.
This is done to cover tips or incidental expenses incurred. A preauthorization places a hold on those available funds until the final payment amount is received, after which the preauthorized amount on hold will be removed.
Merchant Type | Maximum Hold Amount | Maximum Hold Time Frame |
Automated Fuel Dispensers | Maximum Authorization: Up to $100.00 or more | 7 Days |
Hotels | Additional 20% Hold | 7 Days |
Auto Rentals | Additional 20% Hold | 60 Days* |
See Deposit Account Agreement for details.
Note: If you still notice the authorization is being held on your account past the maximum hold time or the authorization has not released despite the transaction being completed or canceled by the merchant, please send an email to support@brinksbusiness.com with the following information:
- Proof of transaction (e.g. receipt, hotel statement, etc.)
- Name of merchant
- Date the transaction was authorized
