As a Navy Federal Credit Union member, you may have come across the term "pending adjustment" in your account activity. But what does it mean? In this article, we’ll break down the concept of a pending adjustment and what it means for your Navy Federal account.
What is a Pending Adjustment?
A pending adjustment is a temporary change to your account balance that has not yet been processed or settled. It’s a notation made by Navy Federal to indicate that a transaction or adjustment is in progress, but has not yet been finalized.
Types of Pending Adjustments
There are several types of pending adjustments that can occur in your Navy Federal account. Some common examples include:
