A type of computer processing in which the computer responds immediately to user requests. Each request is considered to be a transaction. Automatic teller machines in banks are an example of transaction processing.

The opposite of transaction processing is batch processing, in which a batch of requests is stored and then executed all at one time. Transaction processing requires interaction with a user, whereas batch processing can take place without a user being present.
