pending transaction

Awaiting bank clearance

A pending transaction is a financial transaction that has been initiated but not yet fully processed or settled.

When you swipe a card or transfer funds, the amount may show as pending while the merchant or bank completes verification and clearing: I have three pending transactions that haven't posted yet.

Pending transactions temporarily reduce available balance but aren't yet final—they can still be adjusted or reversed before settlement.
