Transaction Statuses

Transactions may have one of two statuses: PENDING or POSTED. How these statuses are reconciled depends on a number of factors.
  • All transaction data on MX systems represent what we get through our data feed, i.e., what institutions make available for aggregation. Many institutions simply do not provide data for pending transactions; transactions from those accounts will always have a status of POSTED.
  • For pending data we do get, it is sometimes possible for a single transaction to be updated from PENDING to POSTED and keep the same unique GUID. This is done through various matching methods performed automatically by MX.
  • If a single transaction can’t be updated, the PENDING transaction will often be deleted and replaced with a new POSTED transaction (with a new GUID) when it is sent to us; this is the most common scenario when pending data is available.
  • In unusual circumstances, there may be separate PENDING and POSTED transactions on MX systems for up to 14 days. All PENDING transactions are deleted after 14 days as a failsafe.
