Does Netspend Show Pending Deposits?
First, let’s take a look at whether, or not, Netspend shows pending deposits on your account.
Yes, NetSpend shows pending deposit and it is something that you have been able to check for quite a while. On the NetSpend dashboard, you will be able to see your current balance, any recent transactions, and, most importantly, any pending and cleared deposits into your account.
This might come as a surprise to some people because even with most high-street banks, pending deposits have been something that you have only recently been able to see online and on the app. So, Netspend is very advanced.
The great thing about Netspend is that they have an online account center which is basically a one-stop-shop for everything you might need to know about your account.
So, as long as you can get access to your online account, then you will easily be able to see any pending deposits for your account. But, this isn’t the only way to see these deposits, and we’ll be taking a look at some other ways shortly.
How Long Does Netspend Hold a Pending Deposit?
Unfortunately, a lot of the time, transactions made with Netspend are not instantaneous. Especially deposits made into your account. This means that you will usually have to wait a little while before the money clears into your account, But how long is “a little while”? Let’s take a look.
Well, there is no set amount of time that Netspend will hold a pending deposit for, so it is difficult to give a definitive answer to this question.
However, it is common for Netspend to hold onto pending deposits for around 2-3 days, with 2 business days being the most common amount of time for which they hold deposits. Once this time has passed, the money will clear into your account and become part of your available balance.
The great thing about Netspend is that pending deposits are clearly marked differently from cleared deposits. So, you can easily see the money that has entered your account apart from the money that will enter your account.
This makes managing your money a lot easier. With that in mind, let’s take a look at how to see pending deposits on Netspend.
