What is the $1 charge on my credit/debit card?

When you use your credit or debit card at Mycare your information is safe, secure and not held by us, rather it’s kept by our gateway provider Payment Express. 

Payment Express runs a security check for credit card payments online. So, you may see a temporary $1 authorisation on your account to check the card is valid when you  register a credit card with us for the first time.

This is not a charge i.e. no money is taken from the account but the $1 authorisation may appear on your account online for 1-7 days (or longer for overseas banks) after this check has been done.
