2. What is a pre-authorization hold on my debit card?

   When you pay with your debit card, you may have a “pre-authorization hold” added to your account before the actual charge goes through. Businesses do this to make sure you have the funds available to cover the purchase, especially when the total amount is unknown at the time you use your card.

   For example, when you swipe your card before pumping gas, a pre-authorization hold is put on your account for an amount that’s probably going to be higher than what you’ll actually spend. When you reserve a hotel room, a hold is placed on the account for the cost of the room, plus a little more in case you have additional services during your stay. When you pay for your meal at a restaurant, a hold may be placed for the cost of the meal plus extra for the possible tip. Once the actual amount is known, that number becomes the charge. And once the charge clears your account (typically during the bank’s evening processing), the pre-authorization hold is released.

   Pre-authorization holds often can be considerably higher than what you will actually pay, and may stay on your account for a while (days, in some situations) so be sure you are prepared for this amount to be “on hold” in your account in the interim. Remember, you won’t have access to the excess funds until after the actual charge clears and the pre-authorization is released.

   Example: Joe visits a gas station and swipes his debit card before pumping his gas. The business doesn’t know how much gas Joe will pump, but it assumes the charge will be $50 or under. They place a pre-authorization hold on Joe’s card for $50 to ensure the funds are available. Joe pumps $20 worth of gas. That means there now is an extra $30 on hold in Joe’s account, and he will not have access to that money until the $20 charge clears and the $50 pre-authorization hold is released.

3. What is the difference between a debit and credit card?

   While both a debit card and credit card can be used to make purchases at stores or online, how they work is quite different.

   A debit card is tied to your bank account. When you use it to make purchases, money is withdrawn directly from your account. If you have no money in your account, the purchase won’t (or shouldn’t) go through.

   A credit card is a revolving line of credit, or a loan. When you use it to make purchases, the credit card company funds the purchase upfront. You can continue spending up to your credit limit without paying immediately. At the end of your billing cycle, your credit card company sends you a bill for the amount you owe. You then have the option of paying the minimum amount due (and paying interest on the remainder), paying your balance in full (and not being charged interest) or paying somewhere in between. As long as your account is in good standing, you can continue to spend up to your credit limit.

   Each type of card has benefits and drawbacks. A debit card is a safe option. It prevents you from falling into debt, since it won’t function if you don’t have any money in your account. However, should you need to spend a little extra, you won’t be able to.

   A credit card, on the other hand, gives you access to additional funds and it gives you the opportunity to build your credit, provided you pay your bill in a timely fashion. The potential risk is that you may end up paying high interest on the balance you don’t pay off, and, if you don’t make your regular payments, you may see your credit score drop.

   At Old National, we offer our clients both debit cards and credit cards.
