The date on which financial trade takes place is called its transaction date. The transaction can be a changing of hand or a buy/sell trade. It can also refer to a banking transaction or a transfer of ownership of another financial asset. Transaction date can be different from the settlement date, which is the date on which funds are cleared or when the seller receives funds. For buyers, the transaction date is the one when trade or exchange is complete and the entry is recorded. Settlement date will be a later date than the transaction date.
