The IBT Balance Report provides details about the merchant’s available balance:
Available (Open) Balance = Cleared Purchases – (Returns + Reserves + Adjustments + Fees + Payouts)
Funds are credited to the merchant account at the end of the 5th banking business day after the transaction is completed. However, a payout or return is debited from the merchant account immediately.
The end balance reflects the current amount in the Merchant’s account that has been cleared and settled:
End (Close) Balance = (Settled Purchases + Reserve TBR) – (Settled Credits + Returns + Reserves + Adjustments)
The end balance amount can be reimbursed or used to credit consumers. Funds are credited to the merchant account at the end of the 5th banking business day after the transaction is completed. However, a payout or return is debited from the merchant account immediately.
