NOTE 3 — SETTLEMENT PROCESSING ASSETS AND OBLIGATIONS Funds settlement refers to the process of transferring funds for sales and credits between card issuers and merchants.
For transactions processed on our systems, we use our internal network to provide funding instructions to financial institutions that in turn fund the merchants.
We process funds settlement under two models, a sponsorship model and a direct membership model.
Under the sponsorship model, we are designated as a Merchant Service Provider by MasterCard and an Independent Sales Organization by Visa, which means that member clearing banks (“Member”) sponsor us and require our adherence to the standards of the payment networks.
In certain markets, we have sponsorship or depository and clearing agreements with financial institution sponsors.
These agreements allow us to route transactions under the Members’ control and identification numbers to clear credit card transactions through MasterCard and Visa.
In this model, the standards of the payment networks restrict us from performing funds settlement or accessing merchant settlement funds, and, instead, require that these funds be in the possession of the Member until the merchant is funded.
Under the direct membership model, we are members in various payment networks, allowing us to process and fund transactions without third-party sponsorship.
In this model, we route and clear transactions directly through the card brand’s network and are not restricted from performing funds settlement.
Otherwise, we process these transactions similarly to how we process transactions in the sponsorship model.
We are required to adhere to the standards of the payment networks in which we are direct members.
We maintain relationships with financial institutions, which may also serve as our Member sponsors for other card brands or in other markets, to assist with funds settlement.
Timing differences, interchange fees, Merchant Reserves and exception items cause differences between the amount received from the payment networks and the amount funded to the merchants.
These intermediary balances arising in our settlement process for direct merchants are reflected as settlement processing assets and obligations on our consolidated balance sheets.
Settlement processing assets and obligations include the components outlined below: ?
Interchange reimbursement.
Our receivable from merchants for the portion of the discount fee related to reimbursement of the interchange fee.
