Reconcile / Reconciliation

Merchant statement reconciliation compares processor-reported activity with bank deposits, explains the differences between the two, and isolates anything that still needs review.

In payments

Reconciliation connects what the processor reports with what actually reached the bank account. Sales, fees, refunds, reserves, chargebacks, adjustments, and timing differences all affect that comparison.

In reconciliation

A deposit matching gross sales is not the goal. The goal is to account for the activity between the original payment volume and the amount deposited, then identify anything that remains unexplained.

Example

Illustrative example
Gross sales$52,400
Expected deposit$46,779
Actual bank deposit$46,754
Difference-$25 Exception

A processor statement reports $52,400 in sales. After known fees, reserves, and other activity, the expected deposit is $46,779. The bank shows $46,754. Reconciliation explains the known activity and isolates the remaining $25 difference for review.
