NAB EFTPOS MOBILE
PRE-AUTHORISATION
The Pre-Authorisation feature is optional. You may enable or disable this feature by contacting the Merchant Service Centre.
Pre-Authorisation is used to reserve a value amount on a cardholder’s account. The value amount is generally held for up to
7 days depending on the cardholder’s financial institution.
The funds held are not debited from the cardholder’s account until final payment, a Pre-Authorisation Completion, is
processed. It is important to retain the Pre-Authorisation merchant receipt as the pre-authorisation completion cannot
be completed without the Approval Code from the receipt.
Pre-Authorisations are available for credit cards only.
Note:
This function is available on NAB EFTPOS Mobile terminals integrated with your POS, however some steps may not
apply or may be initiated via the POS.
