Suspense account

A suspense account is an account used temporarily to carry doubtful receipts and disbursements or discrepancies pending their analysis and permanent classification. It can be a repository for monetary transactions entered with invalid account numbers. The account specified may not exist, or it may be deleted/frozen.

When customer withdrawal completes, the money moves from suspense account to the agent's account who facilitated the cash withdrawal. A suspense account is an account in the general ledger in which amounts are temporarily recorded.
