I've made a transaction, but it's been pending for a really long time. I don't understand why it's taking so long to process. Is there a reason why pending transactions take such a long time to complete? Why do pending transactions take so long?

When a transaction is pending, the funds involved are placed in a transitional state.

This limbo state means the funds are neither fully accessible to the customer nor have they been transferred to the merchant.

The reason behind this pending status lies with the customer's bank or card issuer.

During this time, the bank or card issuer holds onto the funds, preventing the customer from using them freely.

This holding period ensures that the transaction can be properly verified and processed.
