Settlements

Know exactly when your money arrives, and why it's that amount.

Successful payments settle overnight, T+1. Every settlement shows the gross amount, fees, refunds and the net, so reconciling with your bank statement takes minutes, not days.

How settlement works

From payment to your available balance.

  1. 1

    Payment succeeds

    The net amount (after our fee) goes into your pending balance straight away.
  2. 2

    Nightly run

    At midnight Nigeria time, every merchant's pending balance moves to available.
  3. 3

    Available to pay out

    Send it to your bank account or on to suppliers with payouts.
  4. 4
