FAQs
Q. What is a Debit Card Hold?
Debit holds are one of the most confusing and misunderstood processes in banking... even among the banks that issue them! When a debit card is swiped at the pump, a pre-authorization is immediately requested of your bank by Murphy USA. The bank then holds a set pre-authorized amount of your money. (The exact hold amount is determined by your financial institution and it varies widely.)
Once your pay-at-pump transaction is complete, only the amount that was actually pumped is charged to you by Murphy USA. However, even if the amount of your purchase is less than the pre-authorization hold, some financial institutions still require that the hold remain on your account for longer while the funds are fully processed. Your financial institution should be able to provide you with their pre-authorization policy.
Please note that Murphy USA is not holding your funds or charging you for more than your purchase. Only your financial institution can release your funds. Ultimately, your money will be released back into your account by your bank, but the length of time for releasing the money varies. Should you need assistance in asking your bank to release the hold immediately, Murphy USA is always happy to fax a letter on your behalf requesting a release. Please call 855-301-9523 so one of our agents can assist you.
In order to avoid debit holds, feel free to pay with your debit card at the register as no pre-authorization is needed when you sign your receipt. Also, you can use other forms of payment such as credit or any gift card accepted at our stations. Neither of these forms of payment is subject to a pre-authorization hold.
