# Understanding Transaction Status

> What pending and posted statuses mean, and where to see them in MyTruv.

Each transaction has a status that tells you where it is in the processing cycle. MyTruv shows the status exactly as reported by your financial institution.

## Where you see the status

<Note>
  **On the web** - the **Pending** badge appears as an amber pill on the transaction row and again in the detail panel. Posted transactions don't show a badge in the list, only in the detail panel.

  **On iOS** - the status appears as a dot indicator on the transaction detail sheet.

## Transaction statuses

### Pending

A pending transaction has been initiated but hasn't fully processed yet. This is common for:

* Recent purchases that haven't been finalized by the merchant
* Debit card transactions that are being authorized
* Transfers that are still being processed

Pending transactions may:

* **Change in amount** - the final posted amount might differ slightly (e.g. a restaurant tip added after the swipe)
* **Take 1-5 business days** to become posted, depending on the institution
* **Be removed entirely** if the transaction is canceled or the hold is released

### Posted

A posted transaction has been fully processed and finalized. The amount is final and has been officially recorded by your financial institution.

## Recurring and internal transfer badges

Besides the bank status above, a transaction's detail view can show badges for markings you have applied. These are separate from the bank-reported status - you set them, not your institution:

* **Recurring** - marks the transaction as part of a regular series, such as a subscription or recurring bill. Merchants you mark as recurring show up on the **Recurring** page.
* **Internal transfer** - marks the transaction as money moving between your own accounts rather than spending, so it is not counted in your spending totals.

The easiest way to apply either marking is to ask your AI assistant - for example "Mark my monthly HelloFresh charge as a subscription" or "This is a transfer between my accounts, not spending" - and you can reverse a marking the same way ("stop treating HelloFresh as recurring"). See [Meet Your AI Assistant](/assistant/meet-your-ai-assistant) for more.

## What to watch for

* **Pending amounts may change** - the final posted amount can differ from the pending amount
* **Pending transactions may disappear** - if a hold is released or a transaction is voided, the pending entry is removed
* **Duplicate-looking entries** - briefly you might see both a pending and a posted version of the same transaction; the pending one will drop off once posting is complete

<Note>MyTruv reflects what your bank reports - it doesn't change a transaction's status on its own. If you have concerns about a specific transaction (unauthorized charge, stuck in pending for over a week, etc.), contact your bank directly.</Note>
