To keep our service reliable and prevent misuse, we place a _temporary_ $0.10 hold on your credit card during verification. Here's what you need to know:

- **It's not a charge** - This is a temporary authorization that will not be charged to your account
- **Bank processing time** - Kilo Code releases the hold after 7 days. After release, it may take **several weeks** (5-10 business days on average) for the funds to return to your account. The exact timeline depends on your bank.

- **How it's displayed** - Some banks may show this as a regular transaction, but it remains a temporary hold
- **Tracking available** - After the hold is released (7 days), we can provide a STAN number to help you track the transaction with your bank if needed.
