Release is automatic and deposited directly to your settlement bank account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is rolling reserve refundable?<\/strong><br>Yes. Rolling reserve funds belong to the merchant. They are released on the agreed schedule unless the acquirer uses them to cover chargebacks or disputed transactions filed against that period. Any unused reserve at account closure is returned to the merchant after the final hold period expires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How do I negotiate a lower rolling reserve?<\/strong><br>The most effective way to negotiate a lower rolling reserve is to demonstrate at least 6 months of clean processing history with a chargeback ratio below 0.5%, consistent monthly volume growth, and no compliance incidents.
