Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from S24 Banana or S24 Banana Caltex on my bank statement?

This charge usually comes from purchasing fuel or items from the convenience store at the S24 Banana Caltex service station in Banana, Queensland. It may have been processed as a pay-at-pump transaction or an in-store EFTPOS/card payment. If you recently travelled through regional Queensland or refuelled on a highway near Banana, this is likely the source of the charge.

What typical amounts might I see from S24 Banana on my statement?

Common charge amounts match fuel purchases, such as round figures (e.g., AUD $50, $80, $120) or exact fill-up totals like $63.47. Smaller amounts (e.g., under $20) may reflect snack, drink, or convenience-store purchases. A larger temporary amount (for example $100–$200) that later adjusts to the actual fuel cost may indicate a pay-at-pump authorisation hold.

Does S24 Banana use pre-authorisation holds for pay-at-pump fuel transactions?

Many Caltex-branded service stations use a pre-authorisation hold when you pay at the pump, where a fixed amount (often around AUD $100–$200) is temporarily reserved on your card. After you finish refuelling, the hold is released and replaced by the exact purchase amount. This adjustment can take a few business days depending on your bank’s processing times.

Can S24 Banana appear as a recurring or frequent charge on my account?

S24 Banana itself does not typically operate a subscription or membership service, so it should not bill you on a fixed recurring schedule like a subscription. However, if you are a local resident, a transport operator, or a regular traveller through Banana, you may see charges from this merchant repeatedly as you refuel. Fleet or fuel card programs managed by third parties may also consolidate multiple S24 Banana transactions into periodic statements, which can appear as recurring patterns in your account history.

How can I verify that a charge from S24 Banana is legitimate?

Check the transaction date, time, and amount in your online banking and compare it to any fuel stops or shop visits you made around Banana, Queensland. Review your receipts, fuel logs, or travel records from that day, and consider whether another authorised driver (family member, employee, or colleague) might have used the card. If you still cannot identify the transaction, contact the service station directly or speak with your bank to request more detailed information.

How do I resolve an incorrect amount or double charge from S24 Banana?

If you believe you were overcharged or see a duplicate transaction, first gather any receipts or photos of pump readings from your visit. Then contact the S24 Banana service station (look up current phone details online or visit in person) and explain the discrepancy, providing the date, time, amount, and the last four digits of your card. If the station cannot resolve it or you suspect an error or fraud, contact your bank or card issuer to lodge a dispute or chargeback request.

Can I get a refund from S24 Banana if I was charged but the transaction failed or was cancelled?

If your card was charged but you did not receive fuel or goods, or the transaction appeared to fail at the terminal, the payment may be a temporary authorisation that will drop off automatically within a few business days. Keep any printed terminal messages or receipts and contact the service station to confirm whether the sale was completed. If the charge remains and you did not receive anything, ask the station for a refund or credit and, if needed, escalate to your bank for a dispute.

How can I contact S24 Banana about a charge if I don’t live nearby?

Search online for “S24 Banana Caltex Banana QLD” to find the latest phone number and any available listing details, such as through Google Maps or local business directories. When you call, have your transaction date, time, exact amount, and the name that appears on your statement ready so staff can locate the transaction. If you cannot reach the merchant or contact details appear outdated, your bank or card issuer can still investigate the transaction and help you dispute it if necessary.
