It will be introduced at all of them
A big change is set to be introduced across all supermarket self-service petrol stations to make sure customers can actually pay for their fuel.
A statement on the Visa website says: "The way you pay for fuel at self-service pumps is changing, making it easier to keep an eye on your finances. Working with retailers and our payments partners, we are improving the experience at petrol forecourts across the UK. "When you insert or tap your card at a self-service pump, your bank will temporarily reserve an amount from your available balance while you fill up. This could be up to £100. But not to worry, once you've finished filling up, this will be updated to your bank and you'll only be charged for the amount you’ve spent."
How does the new payment system work? Mastercard shared a five-step process for paying for petrol at pay-at-the-pump locations. Explaining how Mastercard customers would be affected, a statement reads: "The way you pay for your fuel at an automated fuel pump in the UK is changing. "Previously, basic bank account users were often not able to pay at an automated fuel pump. Pay-at-pump has been enabled to all cardholders, meaning more drivers can access a more convenient way to pay for fuel and benefit from the new system.
