Payment Posting Time
If your payment is made electronically (through online banking, branch ABM, pre-authorized payment or telephone banking), it will post within 2-3 business days.
Purchases, deposits and payments can be among pending transactions. Depending on the financial institution and the type of transaction, pending transactions can take up to five days to post. Pending transactions can affect your available balance or available credit.
Usually, a pending charge will show on your account until the transaction is processed and the funds are transferred to the merchant. This could typically take up to three days but may stretch longer depending on the merchant and the type of transaction.

There's a good reason for this. Your statement balance is a snapshot of all the expenses and payments that were made to your account during one billing cycle. Once your statement balance is generated, it won't change until your next billing cycle ends — but that doesn't mean your credit card balance won't change.

Transactions received outside of these hours, including on weekends, are usually posted on the next business day.
Why is there no available credit after I posted payment on my credit card?
