About Vibe

Vibe is a Western Australian–owned independent fuel and convenience retailer operating service stations across both metropolitan Perth and regional WA. Trading under the “Buy Local, Support Local” motto, Vibe focuses on competitive fuel prices, clean and modern forecourts, and community-oriented service. Sites such as Vibe Piara Waters on Nicholson Road offer unleaded and diesel fuels, convenience groceries, snacks, drinks, coffee, and everyday essentials, with some locations also providing extras like air and water, gas bottles, and car-care products.

A Vibe charge on your bank or card statement usually relates to a purchase of fuel or in-store items at one of their service stations. Depending on how you paid, you might see a single final amount for fuel and shop items combined, a pay-at-pump transaction, or a temporary pre-authorization hold (often higher than your actual fuel spend) that later adjusts to the correct amount. Charges may post on a different day than your visit due to bank processing times, and pay-at-pump transactions can first appear as “pending” before settling. If you used a digital wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.), the merchant name may still show as “Vibe” or “Vibe Piara Waters” rather than the wallet brand.

To verify the charge, match the transaction date and amount to your fuel receipt or in-store docket from Vibe; if you paid by digital wallet, also check the transaction history inside your wallet app. If you have questions, visit vibepetroleum.com and use the contact details or enquiry form, or phone the specific Vibe site listed on your receipt to confirm the transaction. For most billing issues—such as duplicate charges, unresolved pre-authorisation holds, or incorrect amounts—your first step should be to speak with the station directly, then contact your bank for further investigation or a dispute if the site cannot locate the transaction or you suspect fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my statement show a higher Vibe amount than the fuel I bought?

When you pay at the pump, Vibe (through its payment processor) may place a temporary pre-authorization hold that is higher than your expected fuel purchase, for example a standard limit amount. Once you finish filling up and the actual sale is processed, the hold is released and replaced with the correct, lower transaction amount. This can take a few business days depending on your bank. If the higher amount does not adjust after several days, contact your bank and the Vibe station you visited with the date, time, and pump number.

Why do I see both a pending and a completed Vibe transaction?

Some banks first show a Vibe purchase as a pending authorization, then later as a posted (completed) charge. In most cases, the pending authorization will drop off once the final transaction is fully processed and you will only be billed once. If both amounts remain for more than a few business days, contact your bank to check whether one is an authorization that will fall away, and keep your Vibe receipt handy to confirm the correct total.

What types of purchases can result in a Vibe charge on my card?

A Vibe charge can come from buying fuel, in-store groceries or drinks, coffee, car-care items, or services such as car wash or gas bottles at participating stations. Often, fuel and shop items are combined into a single payment on your card rather than showing as separate transactions. If you visited Vibe Piara Waters or another Vibe outlet on the same day as the charge, that is usually the source of the transaction.

How can I get a copy of my receipt for a Vibe transaction?

If you need a receipt copy, contact the specific Vibe site where you made the purchase, as each station maintains its own till records. Provide the date and approximate time of purchase, the last four digits of your card, and the transaction amount so staff can look it up. You can find site contact details via the “Locations” or “Our Sites” section on vibepetroleum.com or from any previous receipts.

How do refunds or corrections work if I was charged the wrong amount at Vibe?

If you believe you were charged incorrectly—such as being billed for the wrong pump or an incorrect amount—return to or call the same Vibe station with your receipt and bank transaction details. The site can review the transaction and, if an error is confirmed, process a refund or adjustment back to your original payment method. Refund timing depends on your bank, but it typically appears within a few business days. If you cannot resolve it directly with the station, contact your bank to lodge a dispute.

Why is the merchant name showing as a specific site like “Vibe Piara Waters” instead of just Vibe?

Each Vibe service station is operated as an individual site, so your statement may show a descriptor such as “Vibe Piara Waters Nicholson Rd” or similar, depending on how that location is registered with payment processors. This is normal and simply indicates the exact station where you made your purchase. If you’re unsure which site it refers to, check the location list on vibepetroleum.com and match it to where you last filled up.

Can I set up any kind of account or recurring billing with Vibe?

Most Vibe customers are charged per visit for fuel and in-store purchases, so there is no ongoing subscription or automatic recurring billing for typical retail transactions. Some businesses may have fuel card or fleet arrangements through third-party providers, in which case charges may appear under Vibe when those cards are used at their stations. If you see multiple regular Vibe charges and are unsure of the source, review who in your household or business has access to the card and check fuel card statements if applicable.

How do I contact Vibe if I don’t recognize a charge?

Start by checking whether you or a family member visited a Vibe service station on or near the transaction date. If you still don’t recognize the charge, note the transaction date, amount, and merchant description from your statement and contact the Vibe site that best matches that description, or use the contact details on vibepetroleum.com to submit an enquiry. Provide as much detail as possible so they can search their records. If the transaction cannot be located or appears fraudulent, notify your bank immediately to block your card and initiate a dispute.
