For Shell Recharge on-street customers paying via QR code, a pre-authorisation amount of £40 will be charged. If you have mobile banking, you may see this amount pop up. When you finish charging, we tell your bank the real amount you spent, they deduct it, and arrange to unreserve the pre-authorised amount. This process can take a few minutes to a few days depending on who you bank with.
