In plain English
It means the transaction has moved from a temporary waiting state into the account's official history. The bank has recorded it as a completed entry on the account. It is no longer just pending.
In context
Here, posted indicates that the transaction entry in the account history has been officially recorded as a completed transaction rather than a pending one.
- Situation

Meaning limits
