Settlement

Automated Secure Funds Settlement
Settlement to merchants is secure and automated, eliminating the manual process of calculating merchant payments and issuing regular reimbursements for transaction activity. This process takes place on a daily basis and provides the campus with complete ACH-based settlement without manual intervention.
To support the settlement process, institutions receive detailed reports and online account access to the transactions database to assist in account reconciliation.

Campuses receive these royalties on a daily basis though a deposit to a designated financial institution. Both institutions and merchants receive detailed transaction and fee reports.
