Basically they say u must check ur available balance before u swipe because some transactions go of late. They bank pays for it and then charges the honoring fee. This not right. The bank should update ur available balance immediately. I had this problem a number of times and even nw I have 0ver 600 rand in bank charges. I was with capitec and I never had this problem. If I checked the balance it was the amount I could use. Standard bank is using this tactic to rip people off. If they update ur available funds immediately we won't use what we don't have. Soon to be leaving this bank and heading back to the no1 bank. Capitec is king
