A $1 credit card confirmation is a temporary charge used to verify that your card is active and belongs to you. The small authorization (often $1 or less) appears on your statement and is usually reversed or removed within a few days. If it stays as a pending charge, it won’t affect your available balance long-term. This quick step protects against fraud and ensures payments or subscriptions can be processed smoothly. For questions about a specific charge, contact your card issuer or the merchant who requested the verification.
