Why is my debit card payment in reservation?

If your payment is in reservation, it means it has not yet been fully claimed by the merchant and is still pending. If these charges are a mistake, you can expect the reserved amount to become available again on your account on the 8th calendar day. This can happen sooner if the merchant removes their hold on the funds.

The only exception to this is if your payment is for car hire, van hire, or some accommodation or hotel bookings. These can take 30 days for the funds to become available again in your balance.
