What are “Pre-authorized” or “Pending” transactions?

Some transactions, depending on the merchant or point-of-sale venue, are only pre-authorized and will appear as “pending” in the system. The transaction amount will be placed in a temporary hold during the period established by the merchant. Most holds are removed automatically and the release may occur within three (3) to thirty (30) days of the transaction date. Our system will notify you when the period ends as “Expected Expiry”. The funds will be available for use only after the release.
