D0 vs D1 Settlement: Why Your Settlement Speed Is Killing Your Cash Flow

Waiting 3 to 7 days for your money to settle is not normal anymore. D0 and D1 settlement keeps your capital working for you, not sitting with your processor.

The cost of waiting

Funds held for three to seven days are funds you cannot spend on marketing, stock or payouts. For fast-growing merchants this gap quickly becomes a working capital problem.

What D0 and D1 mean

D0 means you receive funds the same business day as the transaction. D1 means the next business day.

Getting faster settlement

Faster settlement depends on your risk profile, processing history and partner. Ask your provider what it takes to qualify and review it as your volumes grow.
