Funding Report

Funding Report

The Funding Report contains all funds transferred (credits and debits). All transactions are part of a batch that is sent to the merchant's bank account for the reporting period.

How to Read the Funding Report

The Funding Report consists of individual rows of data. Each row provides one of four types of data:

  • Header
  • Funding Record
  • Item Record
  • Trail

Each row contains only one type and begins with a Record Type Indicator, which conveys the data type. For example, the file header row’s indicator is H, while the individual transaction rows have an indicator of I.

Every report begins with the header and ends with the trail.

Pending Transactions

If an item record is pending (not yet settled), it will appear at the top of the report above the funding records. The pending item records will have an amount of $0, will not have funding trace id, and are included in the report to show status changes that affect future settlements.

Settled Transactions

Transactions that have settled will appear as item records under a funding record to indicate which batch settlement they were in. There may be multiple funding records per report.

Trail Items

The trail shows how many transactions were part of the report, how many funding records were part of the report, and the total amount settled to the merchant.

File Format

Each line in the Funding File is prefixed with a Record Type Indicator that dictates the type of information it is conveying.

Funding Report Cut Offs

Based on the payment type, funds will settle to the merchant or consumer account based on the cutoff days/times and the expected settlement date. This information can be used to determine when the transactions will also appear in the merchant settlement report. Most transactions will appear in the funding report on the following business day after settlement to the merchant account. For exact cutoff days and times based on the payment types used, please work with your Customer Success Manager.
