Order of Posting Transactions Sample Clauses
The "Order of Posting Transactions" clause defines the sequence in which a financial institution processes and records transactions to an account. In practice, this clause specifies whether credits or debits are posted first, and may outline the order for different types of transactions, such as checks, electronic payments, or deposits.
