Understanding the Reach settlement report
The transaction date on the platform may differ from the deposit date with Reach, and the T+X settlement period (e.g., T+4 days) starts counting after the deposit date.
The End Time in the Reach Admin portal represents when the transaction concludes, and Reach receives the funds.
Our settlement schedules, which follow business calendar days, provide a predictable and reliable framework for your financial planning. Payouts are typically processed twice or thrice a week, and for bank holidays, Reach moves payments to the next business day.
Depending on your business location, we generally send our settlement payouts via Wire transfer and Automated Clearing House (ACH). If not, your Reach representative will discuss your settlement payout beforehand.

Explanation of the Reach settlement payout
The settlement report contains important columns, such as LINE TYPE (Transactions, Refunds, Adjustments), ORDER ID, MERCHANT ORDER ID, etc. All reports contain sell currency, settlement currency, FX rates if applicable, fees, final settlement amount, and other data relevant to the transaction.

The following image shows some of the most important sections to understand when viewing your generated settlement reports.

Important settlement report sections
Sell and settlement currencies
The SELL CURRENCY and SETTLEMENT CURRENCY columns show the customer's purchasing currency and settlement currency you received. The settlement currency is the currency that arrives in your bank account.
Taxes
The SELL AMOUNT - TAX column lists the taxes applied to the purchase. These can vary significantly depending on the consumer's billing address.
Reach fees
The FEE - PROCESSING, FEE - FRAUD ENGINE, FEE - FINANCING, and FEE - REFUND columns indicate the fees applied to the transaction and their origin.
Net amount
After applying all fees, taxes, exchange, and settlement, the NET AMOUNT column shows the final value.
FX rate
Reach’s industry-leading wholesale foreign exchange (FX) rates show the rate when the settlement occurred. See FX RATE for more information.
The Reach settlement payout process
The Reach platform's settlement payout process focuses on cash flow management and settlement reporting. It details how the settlement process works, including key timelines and factors affecting payments, and aims to help users understand settlement reporting.
Prerequisites
Key prerequisites include:
- Go-live date: Monday, October 7th
- Payment agreement: T+4 (Business days only, excluding weekends and holidays roll into the next business day)
- Payment schedule: Mondays and Thursdays
Settlement days breakdown
The topic provides a breakdown of settlement days, for example:
- For transactions received on October 7th, T+4 falls on Friday, October 11th. Since the payout scheduled for Thursday, October 10th, was missed, it will now occur on Monday, October 14th.
- The payout for transactions received on October 8th will occur on Monday, October 14th.
- Reach will settle transactions received on October 9th, 10th, or 11th on the Thursday, October 17th payout.
- Reach will settle transactions received from October 12th to 15th on the Monday, October 21st payout.
Settlement sequence (ideal)
The ideal settlement sequence is:
- Monday Settlements: Transactions from Saturday to Tuesday.
- Thursday Settlements: Transactions from Wednesday to Friday.
Standard Reach settlement methods
The following columns will appear in the settlement report.
LINE TYPE
This column indicates the type of transaction, such as Payments, Refund, Adjustment, or Transaction. On the last row, the "Net Total" indicates that each entry in that row will contain a sum of the corresponding column for all Transactions, Refunds, and Adjustments included in the report.
ORDER ID
The Reach identifier for the order that contains the transaction(s). Searchable in Reach Admin as the order ID (Searching in Admin).
MERCHANT ORDER ID
The supplier-provided ID for the order.

SELL AMOUNT - SUBTOTAL
The transaction amount in the currency the consumer paid with (SELL CURRENCY), excluding tax.
SELL AMOUNT - TAX
The tax on the Sell Amount Subtotal. A positive value appears when a transaction has taxes levied against it, and a negative value occurs when the tax is refunded. For instance, the sign ensures that adding it to the subtotal results in the total. For example:
The sign will generally be the inverse of this on the settlement side because the tax was withheld from the settlement total. The extent of these details is clearer when looking at an example:
- Sell amount subtotal: 100
- Sell amount tax: 10
- Sell amount total: 110
- FX rate: 1
- Settlement amount total: 110
- Settlement amount tax: -10
- Gross amount settled: 100
