We received reports from a few clients regarding double-authorisation on some card transactions.

This appears to be linked to a severe delay in card authorisation and settlements by bankserv over the long weekend.

Please note that although you may see a double-authorisation, you have only been debited once.  The second authorisation will be cancelled by your bank in a day or two, depending on the bank you transact with.

We apologise for the inconvenience.
