Payments not showing on statement..

I have made a few online transactions starting from the 24th of September but they still are not showing on my online banking. After the transactions I did check my account and they did leave my available balance.

However, after checking my online banking I have noticed they have not showed on my account and I'm worried that there may be some mistake with my actual balance so I feel like I can't spend any money until they show on my statement so I know for certain they will not come off my available balance but obviously have no idea when this will be.

I know transactions usually take 3-4 days to appear on your statement but this is way over a week later and still they're not showing. Do you think I need to worry or spending will be ok? I've tried adding up all my transactions but the amount I think it should be is less than my available balance by about £200 I don't know what to do :s

    What sort of 'transactions'? Card payments?

    If so, theoretically they can sometimes take up to 6 months (!) to show. Even the available balance can remain unaffected.

    Ultimately it's your duty to keep track of your spending.
  • I just paid for items online. Its ok now though they've just all showed at once and available balance seems to have changed now. Thanks for your help anyway :)
