Market Value (Trust Accounts)

Merchant Authorizations

When you make certain point-of-sale purchases with your debit card, the merchant will seek to authorize the transaction. (Note: This is especially true where the final amount of the purchase is not known. Typical examples include gas stations, hotels and rental cars.) This type of transaction will include the term "Authorization" within its description on the Account Activity screen. If we approve one of these authorizations, eventually, the merchant will present the actual transaction for payment. Once the merchant has done so, this amount will reduce your Current and Available Balances.
