Essentially, pending transactions mean the money has been committed to a specific purchase, but it's still moving between accounts. Your account balance may or may not reflect the money spent in a pending transaction. You are still able to use your card normally while these payments process.

The transaction amount is then deducted from your available funds, and the transaction shows as pending on your account until the payment process is complete.
