A "debit card pending correction" message may appear on your account when you use your debit card without entering your PIN, and the amount of the transaction is placed on hold in your account until the transaction is processed. During this holding time, usually 2-4 days, the amount will show as a pending debit. Once the transaction is processed, the hold is released, and the funds are withdrawn from the account.
Pending transactions are transactions that are known to the bank but have not yet been fully processed (posted) for payment from your account. This means there are debit card transactions that have been authorized but have not cleared the account yet. Outstanding checks and automatic payments you have authorized, such as car payments, gym memberships, or other recurring debit card transactions, may also appear as pending transactions.
For most debit card purchases, the bank receives the payment request, including the actual transaction amount, within three business days of the transaction. If the bank doesnt receive a final payment request from the merchant within three business days, or up to thirty business days for certain types of debit or ATM card transactions, including but not limited to car rental transactions, cash transactions, and international transactions, the bank releases the authorization hold on the transaction. The bank then removes the transaction from your list of pending transactions and adds the funds back to your available balance. If the bank receives the payment request at a later date, the actual transaction amount will be deducted from your account at that time.
