Settlements

Settlements refer to the process of transferring funds to your (merchant) bank account after aggregating the transaction amount and deducting our applicable charges and adjustments (Refunds, Chargebacks, etc).

By streamlining the transfer of funds and providing detailed transaction information, we help you manage your finances efficiently and effectively.

By default Cashfree processes your settlements with a frequency of T+2 bank working days for a payment done on day T. You can get this updated by filling out the Support Form.

Instant Settlements

Cashfree’s Instant Settlements is a powerful tool that allows businesses to receive their funds almost instantly, rather than waiting for the standard T+1 or T+2 settlement cycles. This helps businesses who are in more urgent needs of their funds. To be eligible for Instant Settlements, businesses must meet specific criteria.

Settlement reversals

There are scenarios when a payout initiated from Cashfree’s bank account to your bank account might get reversed. In these scenarios we mark those settlements are reversed. We also initiate a webhook to you once a settlement reversal happens.

Here are some common reasons which can lead to a settlement reversal.
