Once you make a debit card transaction, funds are held for the purchase immediately and can actually clear immediately, but most will clear by the second or third day from purchase. One easy way to track when your transactions are clearing is by signing up for iAlerts!, real-time text and email alerts.
The amount we hold is determined by the merchant with whom you conducted the transaction. Restaurants often preauthorize a hold of 20% over the cost of the meal to leave room for a tip. Hotels take a similar approach, preauthorizing more than the cost of the room to cover incidental expenses. Gas stations often preauthorize $75 or more, not knowing how much you will pump. Once the transaction comes through, any authorization holds are released, regardless of the amount of the charge.
