Your airbus procedures : Fuel pumps ON or OFF during refueling ?

A lot of operators have fuel pumps off while refueling takes places . But some other operators simply say ‘ airbus says all white lights out’ and that’s the end of the story. What does your SOP say and do you know a technical reason that would make it prudent to have fuel pumps off till refueling finishes ? ( it is very possible that the urge to leave them off is carried from operators who operated different aircraft in the past , but the technical reasons for other aircraft may not be applicable to airbus. )
