Merchant Balancing
This is also known as Batching Out. Most POS Terminals and all Payment Gateways
perform an auto close function at the end of the day and batch out automatically.
Capture
The Front-End Processor matches the Authorization data to
the settlement data and transmits the card capture file to a
Back-End Processor for V/MC transactions or to the
appropriate Card Issuer for other card types.
Clearing
During this stage the Back-End Processor performs
compliance checks and risk management procedures and
transmits the transaction to V/MC or to the appropriate
Card Issuer for other card types.
Interchange (VS/MC Only)
During this stage the V/MC Associations sort the transactions by Issuing Bank and
transmit them to the appropriate Issuing Banks for settlement.
Settlement
During this stage the Issuing Bank calculates fees and deductions (i.e., chargebacks) and
routs the net funds to the appropriate Card Issuer which determines the daily deposit for
the merchant.
Merchant ACH
During this stage the Acquiring Bank or Card Issuer transmits the merchant deposit to the
merchant’s checking account.
