Settlement Reporting

Learn about Bread's Settlement Report and how to reconcile your Bread deposits.

Overview

What is the settlement report?
The Settlement Report provides a detailed csv of funding activity occurring on settled and refunded transactions for a selected time period.

Typically, all settled transactions are funded by Bread on a daily basis. After transactions are settled, funds are expected to appear in your account within 0-2 business days via ACH.

Downloading the Settlement Report

The report can be accessed under the "Reporting" dropdown in the Bread Merchant Portal. After clicking "Download CSV Report", you can download a list of transactions within a 100 day date range.

Note on Refunds

Refunded amounts are netted from daily ACH payments. Funding event fees on refunds are reflected as positive amounts, as Bread will return fees originally netted from settled transactions.
