Q: I have a “pending” charge on my bank statement- why?

A: The “pending” charge is because you or a family member used a DEBIT or CREDIT card for a recent transaction. Banks use an “estimated” amount as a “hold” or Pending against your account balance until the ACTUAL sale amount is posted to your account.

Q: When will the “pending” or “hold” amount disappear?

A: It can take your bank up to 24 – 72 hrs to clear the “pending” or “hold” amount.

Q: I have an overcharge amount on my bank account- why?
