The pending status typically indicates that the transaction is being reviewed or verified by the merchant or payment processor. 2.

Network Issues: Sometimes, network issues or technical problems with the payment processor can result in transactions remaining in a pending status. 5. Authorization Hold: In some cases, such as hotel bookings or car rentals, the merchant may place an authorization hold on your account to ensure you have enough funds to cover potential additional charges. This hold can temporarily make the transaction appear as pending until it is finalized. 6. Bank or Card Issuer Processing: If you're using a card linked to your iChange account, the bank or card issuer may have specific processing times for transactions. Delays on their end can lead to pending transactions. 7. Merchant's Discretion: The merchant may choose to hold the transaction for their own reasons, such as waiting for items to be in stock or for manual review. What You Can Do: - Wait Patiently: If the transaction is legitimate and you have sufficient funds, waiting for a reasonable amount of time is often the best course of action. - Check Your Balance: Ensure that your account or wallet has enough funds to cover the transaction. - Contact the Merchant: If you suspect an issue with the specific transaction or have questions about why it's pending, you can reach out to the merchant's customer support. - Review Your Card Statement: If you're using a linked card, check your card statement for any additional information or pending charges. - Contact iChange Support: If the issue persists or if you believe there's a problem with your iChange account, you can contact iChange customer support for assistance. Remember that pending transactions are usually temporary, and most of them will either be completed or cancelled within a reasonable timeframe.
