What is a pending transaction?

A pending transaction is a payment that has been authorised but has not yet been fully processed by the merchant.

⏳ When a transaction is pending:

  • The purchase amount may be temporarily reserved

  • Your available credit limit may be reduced

  • The final transaction amount may still change in some cases

Pending transactions are common for:

  • Card purchases

  • Hotel or car rental reservations

  • Online orders

  • Merchant pre-authorisations

Once the merchant completes the transaction, the status will automatically update to completed and your balance will be adjusted if necessary.

Most pending transactions are resolved within a few days, although processing times may vary depending on the merchant.

You can view the status of all pending transactions directly in the Monefit Card app.
