It sounds like they failed in their negotiations with banks - surely an organisation that large would've started with the discussions at bank level to see if the banks anticipated any issues and what the processes would be in order to set up and be running .... and to hear any reservations from the banks who might have trialled similar schemes for other customers.
Somebody needs to send the trial organisers a picture of an 4rse and an elbow and ask if they can tell them apart.
Con merchants !!.
Would assume it's to do with the high possibility of fraud loss.
Anyway in the shop if you use chip and pin they do check if you have sufficient money or credit in your account before the bank authorises the payment to the supermarket.
Also, in the shop they can call the own security and/or the police.

No money was taken as it's a pre-auth.
