The process of transmitting, reconciling and, in some cases, confirming payment orders or security transfer instructions prior to settlement, possibly including netting of instructions and the establishment of final positions for settlement.


In the context of securities markets this process is often referred to as clearance.  
The credit card enables the holder to make purchases and/or withdraw cash up to a pre-arranged ceiling; the credit granted can be settled in full by the end of a specified period or can be settled in part, with the balance taken as extended credit.  


Sometimes the term is used (imprecisely) to include settlement.
Interest is charged on the amount of any extended credit and the card holder is sometimes charged an annual fee.
