Same Day Settlements and why you need it

Spending too much time in lines and waiting days for your takings to land in your bank account? Thanks to recent innovations in digital payments, the era of slow settlements and inconvenient manual reconciliation is over. Changes to traditional payments processes have made it easier for enterprise financial decision-makers or small business owners to sell their products online, streamline their customers’ experience and grow their companies by taking advantage of same-day or next-day settlements.

But online payments still have a long way to go before it becomes completely seamless. Merchants are still faced with challenges associated with making or receiving digital payments, and one of the most common pain points is settlement time.

Typically, settlement periods can take anywhere from 24 hours to several weeks, but most payment processing services stick to a standard of three to five working days. As part of the clearing process, banks and other incumbent payments services providers have traditionally used this time to keep an eye out for fraudulent transactions and stop chargebacks. However, as payment innovations continue to shake up the industry, these timings are becoming increasingly shorter.

Benefits of same day settlements

Every day, merchants like you have to face the same problem: consumers pay for their purchases right away, but it takes days for the money to reflect in your bank account. Though this may seem like a small hiccup, the flow-on effects can be detrimental for business growth. Slow settlement times disrupts cashflow and could prevent you from pursuing strategic actions that might help you grow your business, like investing in products or hiring more people.
