Your funds will typically be deposited in your bank account the next business day after performing a batch close. The exact time of the deposit depends on the time of the batch close and the financial institution where your funds are deposited.

If you are using the Amex OptBlue program through Elavon, your American Express deposits will be included with your Visa/MasterCard/Discover/Interac transactions, typically next business day after batch close.  If you have a direct account with American Express, the settlement cycle is governed by your processing agreement with American Express.

We require a business bank account at any Canadian financial institution, not a personal bank account. The currency of the bank account must match the currency of the merchant account (i.e. CAD deposited into a Canadian dollar bank account and USD deposited into a US dollar bank account).

To ensure that we are depositing funds into the correct bank account, you must provide a void cheque with your business name and address imprinted. If your company name and address is not imprinted on your void cheque, additional supporting information will be required.
