Settlement Period - Weekly, 7 Days in Arrears
.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Many people just read the settlement as '7 working days in arrears' and forget it is actually settled weekly. Therefore please remember that you are paid once a week and not daily.

How it works

You will receive settlements (pay-outs by the acquirer to your bank account) on a weekly basis. These settlements will be wired every Thursday. Please note that it can take several days before international wires are credited to your account. Each following Monday you will receive a “Reconciliation Statement” via email, informing you about the total sum that is wired to your bank account. The acquirer automatically deducts the discount fee (and if applicable, any chargeback and/or refund fees) from your total transaction amount. All other fees will be separately invoiced by us.

As a guide we have provided examples below of when payment will be sent depending on the day you took payment. For this example you are settled (remitted) every Thursday using a 30 day calendar month.

Sales posted to the merchant account appear on your online account statement the day after the sale was processed. So a sale processed on Monday will be posted on Thursday then remitted the following Thursday.

Please be aware that your own designated bank may take a few days to pay you your funds after payment has been sent. Due to the many different banks it is impossible for us to specify how long each one will take.
