Guidelines for Corporate Payment Settlement

Have you ever wondered when the fees paid by your clients will reach your account? Read on to find out the answer and learn how to speed up the process.

What is a settlement?

Settlement is a simple process that allows any business to collect payments through a payment gateway. The settlement process is complete when the payment from the customer reaches your bank account.

Payment gateway settlement cycle

Here is how the money flows.

There are three main participants in the payment gateway settlement cycle:

The card-issuing bank, i.e. the customer's bank

Payment Gateway

Acquiring bank, i.e. your bank

As soon as the customer pays you, the funds are deducted from their account. The funds flow through the payment gateway from the customer's bank to yours, a process that takes T+2 days. After deducting the payment gateway fees, the remaining amount is transferred to your account after T+3 days. This is a generic payment gateway settlement cycle:

Universal payment gateway settlement cycle

In the case of credit card payments, the credit card network connects the issuing bank and the acquiring bank to enable online payments. The entire payment gateway settlement cycle remains the same.

The table below will help you understand how long each payment method will take to settle:
