Bank account empty after refueling of 20 euros: “Possibly a week to wait until the deposit is released” | Zwijndrecht

Those who pay at the pump with a bank or credit card usually do not know that banks temporarily block an amount on the account. This amount, which varies from 125 to 375 euros, is normally released after a few seconds, but sometimes something goes wrong. Tom Traets (39) experienced this after filling up at the AVIA station on the Krijgsbaan in Zwijndrecht.
