Pre-authorisation charges

If you can see a small charge (approx. £1.01) on your bank statement, please rest assured, this is a temporary authorisation charge (pre-authorisation) which will disappear from your statement.

About pre-authorisation

When you register a new card, our payment software (Stripe) sends a request to your issuing bank for a small charge to verify that it is valid.

This amount is not held by Gophr but by your own issuing bank.

When does the pre-authorisation get released from my card?

This varies depending on your individual credit/debit card, but is usually around 24 hours.

It should be released by your issuing bank automatically. If not you will need to contact them directly.
