Question about this???

Question

I got paid $500... I used my debit card to make a $50 purchase.. ok, when I checked after it my account said $450.. and when I checked at midnight last night, my account said, $400.. I called the bank, and asked them about it, they said, "At first it's going to show it came out because it's pending.. and then once it goes through, it's actually charged and posted.." Ok.. so why does it look like they took out $100?? Why not put my other $50 back in?? Can someone explain this

Answer 1

Go on line to your account and look at the transactions.  Sometimes bank will put a " hold " on trasactions for cheque clearing etc. . . . without more details it is a challenge to say what exactly they are doing ~ however, there's a hold of some sort in the mix.
