Payment rails operate within specific time windows. Understanding cut-off times helps you plan transactions and set accurate expectations for settlement.

What are cut-off times?

Cut-off times define the daily deadline for processing transactions through each payment rail. Transactions submitted after the cut-off time are processed on the next business day.

Transactions submitted close to cut-off times may not be processed until the next business day. Allow sufficient time for processing to meet your settlement requirements.
