When you make a purchase on the site by credit card, HYSSES may conduct a pre-authorisation on your credit or debit card for a portion of the purchase price. Once the pre-authorisation is processed, we will then instruct your financial institution to cancel the pre-authorisation. Please note that no funds are taken from your account at pre-authorisation but a temporary ‘hold’ is placed on them. Once we have cancelled the pre-authorisation, it may take up to seven (7) days for your financial institution to release the funds before you are able to access them.
