# Pending payment status

Learn what the Pending payment status means and how long payment processing may take

Most pending payments are completed within a few minutes or several days.

In some cases, pending payments or card holds may remain longer depending on the payment provider or bank processing times.

A payment remains in Pending status until the provider confirms or declines the transaction.

If a payment stays pending unusually long, please contact Elibrium support or your account manager for additional investigation.
