1 / 4認得Recognize看到這個英文,我知道它大概是什麼。I see it, and I know roughly what it is.

Pending

PEN-ding

還沒入帳

처리 중

Where you'll see it你會在哪裡看到

  • 銀行 App 的交易明細
  • 信用卡 App
  • Zelle、Venmo 的轉帳紀錄
  • 退款通知

What it actually means白話說

這筆交易已經被記下來,但還沒完成入帳。Pending 的金額通常已經先從可用餘額裡扣掉;等它變成 Posted 才算正式完成,金額偶爾會跟 pending 的時候不太一樣。

Common mistake常見的誤會

Pending 不是交易失敗,也不代表被多扣一次。它只是還在路上;正式的金額以變成 Posted 之後為準。

Often right next to it旁邊常出現的字

  • Posted已入帳 처리 완료
  • Hold暫時圈住的金額 보류 금액
  • Available balance可用餘額 사용 가능 잔액
  • Processing處理中 처리 중

2 / 4聽懂Understand對方講一整句,我抓得到關鍵字。They say a whole sentence. I catch the keyword.

You may hear你可能會聽到

Agent

“That charge is still pending, so it hasn't posted yet.”

那一筆還在處理中,所以還沒正式入帳。

Listen for these words整句聽不懂沒關係,抓這幾個字

  • still pending還在處理中
  • hasn't posted還沒入帳
3 / 4開口Say不用講得完美,我有一句最簡單的可以說。It doesn't have to be perfect. I have one simple line.

You can say你可以說

Why is it still pending?

為什麼還在處理中?

When will it post?

什麼時候會入帳?

Was I charged twice?

我是不是被扣了兩次?

4 / 4實戰Survive真的遇到了,我知道現在發生什麼。When it really happens, I know what's going on.

Quick check實戰一下

你在銀行 App 看到同一家店有兩筆扣款,打電話問客服。

Agent 說:Agent says:

“One of them is a pending hold. It'll drop off.”
