In payments
The processing records and corresponding bank activity reconcile without an unexplained difference.
In reconciliation
A matched result means the expected movement of funds has been accounted for and does not require additional investigation.
Matched
The statement activity and bank activity agree.
Offset
A difference exists, but related activity explains it. A reserve hold, processing fee, chargeback, refund, or adjustment might account for the gap.
Exception
A difference remains without a confirmed explanation. This is where finance review is required.
Example
The reconciliation calculates an expected deposit of $18,420. The corresponding bank deposit is also $18,420. The result is Matched.
