Why Murphy USA holds your funds
Unreviewed registry note: A charge showing MURPHY7811ATWALMART on your bank statement represents a temporary pre-authorization hold from a Murphy USA fuel station located outside a Walmart store. Gas stations place this temporary hold before pumping fuel to verify your card has sufficient funds.
Unreviewed registry note: These holds typically range from $75 to $150 and appear as pending charges on your account. Murphy USA does not actually keep this money; the hold drops off automatically once the station transmits your exact fuel purchase total to your bank.
How to handle pending gas holds
Unreviewed registry note: These holds can be frustrating, especially if they cause your checking account to dip into the negative and incur overdraft fees.
- Call your bank's support line Unreviewed registry note: If the hold persists longer than 3 business days, call your bank (not Murphy USA). Only your financial institution can manually release a pending authorization.
- Avoid holds by paying the cashier Unreviewed registry note: If you hand your card to the Murphy USA attendant inside the kiosk and specify a dollar amount (e.g., $40 on pump 3), the system will only authorize exactly $40.
