What are pending transactions?

Some bank transactions show a Pending label. These are payments your bank already knows about but hasn’t posted yet.

You can’t edit a pending transaction. You can’t change its category, note or labels, and Spendee doesn’t offer to move it with other payments from the same merchant. Once your bank posts it, the label goes away and you can edit it like any other bank transaction.

Not every bank sends pending payments. If your bank doesn’t, a payment shows up in Spendee only after the bank posts it.

A transaction has been pending for a long time

  1. Check your online banking. If the payment is still pending there, wait until your bank posts it.
  2. If it is already posted in your bank, sync the account: open the Accounts tab and pull down the list. See How to sync a bank account.
  3. If it is still pending in Spendee after the sync, go to More and tap Contact Support.
