What is a Reserve Account?
A reserve account is a portion of funds that are set aside. These funds are in place to protect both the merchant and the credit card processor in the event the merchant is exposed to refunds and chargebacks.
The reserve account will be updated on a daily basis as long as there are transactions for new sales. The Reserve Account summary page is divided into month funds were collected, the amount collected, and the release date.
