Day 4

On day 4, the merchant processes three debit transactions totaling $7,000. The merchant does not process any credit transactions. Day 1 is now funded due to the lapse of the 3-day holding period. $990 is moved to the risk reserve account because the risk reserve rate is 10%, and the day 1 total was $9,900. The day 4 total is moved to the settlement account. $5,910 is funded. That amount reflects the settlement account balance, minus the debit totals for days 2, 3, and 4, minus the reserve amount ($990). Because funding occurred, reconciliation reports are generated for day 1 transactions and day 3 credit (there are no holds on credits).
