Merchant settlement

Instant access to sales revenue

Retailers, restaurants and other businesses can receive funds immediately from a customer purchase.

With instant access to sales revenue, businesses can reinvest funds, purchase critical materials for their business and reduce reliance on high-interest loans. Real-time merchant settlement helps small- and medium-sized businesses avoid payment delays and improve their daily cash flow.
