Concourse – Extended Settlement
Settle On Time, All the Time
One of the most critical components of processing electronic payment transactions is the successful exchange of funds among the transaction participants.
The settlement of electronic payment transactions must occur every day, for every transaction. During the settlement process, all credits and debits must be summed up for each transaction so accurate funds movement can occur. This includes fees and refunds that occur throughout the transaction life cycle, (e.g., interchange fees, association fees, processing fees, discount fees).
When moving funds, it is critical that the settlement process is 100% accurate and completed within defined settlement windows.
