Zusammenfassung:A system and method for making funds of a transaction available to a user before a funding entry clears is provided. The system may be part of an on-line system configured to facilitate payments or fund transfers from users. In example embodiments, a transaction request from a user is received.

Funds of the transaction are caused to be released prior to the funding entry clearing a financial institution based on the risk score exceeding a transfer threshold.
