Why does a transaction amount look different?

Sometimes the final transaction amount may differ from the amount you originally saw when making a purchase.

💳 This can happen for several reasons, including:

  • Tips or service charges added by the merchant

  • Currency conversion or exchange rate adjustments

  • Changes to the final purchase amount

  • Temporary authorisations being replaced with the final charge

For example, hotels, car rental companies, restaurants, and fuel stations may initially reserve an estimated amount and later adjust it when the final transaction is processed.

Once the merchant completes the transaction:

  • The final amount is confirmed

  • Any temporary authorisation is updated or removed

  • The settled amount appears in your transaction history

You can view both pending and completed transactions directly in the Monefit Card app.
