Holds

Card authorization holds

The card authorization holds are used to verify electronic transactions initiated with a debit or credit card. A current authorization hold amount is therefore the amount awaiting authorization, being as such unavailable for further withdrawals until either the merchant clears or cancels the transaction or the hold expires. For more information, see Card Transactions.

Transaction holds

Transaction holds directly on deposit accounts are used to support Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) instant payment flows, cheque and multicurrency settlements, and other scenarios where a hold needs to be posted prior to an actual transaction. For more information, see the Deposit Accounts - createAuthorizationHolds endpoint in the API Reference.
