What to Expect in Your Monthly Statement

What should you expect in your monthly merchant account statement? Most processors bill on a schedule called daily discounting. The discount rate is taken out before the deposit. The remaining fees are then debited from your checking account at the beginning of the following month. Once a particular month has passed, the statements are then generated around the first week of the new month. You should receive your statement in the mail no later than 2 weeks of the start of the new month. If you have not received your statement, please contact customer service to ensure that we have the correct mailing address.
