Why a payout date differs from a sale date

Settlement cycles, weekends and bank processing explained.

SOP · 2 min read

A sale, its settlement and the bank credit can each fall on different dates.

  • Card payments are batched and settled on a cycle agreed for your account.
  • Weekends and bank holidays delay the credit reaching your bank.
  • Refunds and adjustments may settle in a later period than the original sale.

If a payout is later than expected by more than a couple of working days, note the payment reference and dates and contact support.
