Answer:
Flexischools makes a $1 verification charge to confirm that the credit or debit card provided is valid and that the cardholder has authorised its use. This charge is a temporary hold, and the funds will be released back to your account within a few days. The purpose of this charge is to protect against fraud and to ensure that our payment processing system is secure.
Depending on your bank, it may take up to 5-7 business days for the charge to be refunded. The exact timeframe will depend on your financial institution's policies.
In some cases, this charge can be a few separate $1 holds when you make multiple transactions in quick succession. This amount will be returned by your bank after verification has completed.
Please note that the $1 verification charge is separate from any payments or orders you make through Flexischools. The charge is only for the purpose of verifying the validity of your credit or debit card.
Once your card has been verified, you will not be charged $1 every time you top up your account.
