What is the difference between LTD and Limited?

There is no difference between the name endings ‘Limited’ or ‘Ltd’, except for how they look. Companies House requires limited companies to have either Limited or Ltd at the end of the company name. By default we select Ltd, but you can also choose the ‘Limited’ option if you prefer.

• Balance adjustments due to chargebacks, disputes or banking recalls (i.e. if someone paid into your account by mistake and asked their bank to recall the payment)

• Offline card transactions (i.e. purchases placed on a plane)

• Pre-authorised card transactions (when you have enough money in your account at the moment you authorised a payment, but you spend that money before it’s actually cleared)

• A refund reversal (when you have received a refund, but the merchant has reversed it after)

We’ll check your balance whenever we're authorising a card payment, but if you’re paying in a non-GBP currency, the cleared amount is subject to the latest exchange rate from Mastercard. If the cleared amount is higher, it’s possible for it to cause a negative balance.

If this happens, just top up your account to resolve the negative balance.
