What does it mean if a check says posted
A posted transaction is a completed transaction that has been fully processed.
Does a posted check mean it cleared
A check that somebody has written you has technically cleared as soon as the deposit bank has transferred the money to the drawing bank (i.e. your bank) and the funds are marked as available on your account. Sometimes the money is available for you to spend and withdraw before the check has fully cleared.
Why is my check taking so long to be available
Common causes of delay include: Depositing a large amount (more than $5,525) in checks in a single day. Making check deposits into accounts that are less than 30 days old. Having multiple recent overdraft charges on the account in question.
Can a posted check still bounce
The process takes time, and a check still can bounce after you deposit it—even if your bank allows you to withdraw cash from that deposit.
What is the difference between posted and cleared
Transactions are given a “cleared” status when they have been posted to your account. Cleared (or posted) transactions are not always final because there may be certain circumstances when such transactions may be reversed.
Is posted and cleared the same thing
Once your $100 transaction is approved by your financial institution the $100 is paid to the merchant's account. This is considered a “cleared” transaction. The pending charge becomes a posted transaction and your actual account balance is reduced to $400.
Why isn’t all my money available after depositing a check
Another reason that your check or cash deposit may not be showing up as planned is that the bank put an exception hold on the funds, which allows it to hold the deposit for a period is longer than the standard hold periods established under the law.
Why do banks delay availability of checks
Check holds are designed to protect both you and the bank. They allow the bank time to ensure that the check deposit will go through so that you're not in danger of going into overdraft or having the check returned. That's a plus since overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees can quickly pile up.
How long does it take for a fake check to bounce
It may take a bank weeks to discover that the deposited check was fraudulent! The bottom line is that, while the funds may be available in your account within days of your deposit, the check may take weeks to clear or bounce.
Can a posted payment be returned
Yes, in some cases. Banks can initiate chargebacks, forcing reversals on settled transactions. They can also reverse payments if authorization errors appear in the transaction.

In most cases, a check should clear within one or two business days. There are a few cases in which a check might be held for longer, such as if it's a large deposit amount or an international check. Make sure to review your bank's policies for what to expect in terms of check hold times.
