Minus balance subsequent settlements

  • A “minus balance” is a negative balance of your acquiring account.

  • A negative balance can have various causes, including customer complaints (chargebacks), refunds or monthly payments of terminal rentals, which are deducted directly from the acquiring turnover (netting). If these debits exceed the current acquiring turnover, your reimbursement account will show a negative balance (“minus balance”).

    This minus balance must first be cleared before you can receive payments again.

  • You can view your reimbursement account balance at any time on your customer portal (myPortal). In addition, you will be notified of a negative balance in writing by e-mail.

  • If you generate sufficient acquiring turnover in the following month, the “minus balance” will be automatically deducted from your turnover.

    Where the negative balance is too big (i.e. netting in the following month is not possible), you will typically receive a separate invoice with a pay-in slip for the outstanding amount.

  • Where the acquiring turnover in the following month is insufficient to cover the outstanding amount, a separate invoice will be typically issued to clear the negative balance. The outstanding amounts are thus settled as quickly as possible, which simplifies traceability considerably from your perspective. Once any outstanding amounts have been settled, you will start receiving ongoing payments in your account again.

    In exceptional cases, a minus balance resulting from chargebacks (customer complaints), refunds or unpaid terminal invoices may remain outstanding for several months until the turnover is sufficient to clear the negative balance. In this case, you will only receive a message through myPortal.

  • This can happen to customers with several reimbursement accounts (in PASS Reimb Accounts). This is the case, for example, where one of the customer’s accounts is inactive, but terminal rentals are still deducted from the relevant account and the acquiring turnover is paid to another reimbursement account. In this case, a transfer of the outstanding terminal rentals to the active account is permitted. This transfer (financial adjustment = Fadj) can result in several terminal rentals being netted against the acquiring turnover at once. Payments will only start being made once the turnover covers the negative balance in full. This can vary greatly depending on the merchant.

    This transfer is also shown on the credit notice in the customer portal.

  • This is possible and even recommended for customers with turnovers affected by seasonal or other sizeable fluctuations. We will be happy to change this for you upon request starting from the following month. In this case, you will receive a hard-copy invoice, including a pay-in slip.
