    Manual Intervention is when a bank employee has to check a transaction on your account rather than a computer.

    Banks could potentially use this as part of their costing for a charge because it is not completely automated.

    However, if they don't supply these details then it would be hard for them to use these in their defence in court, so don't worry about it.
