Daily Balance Report Functionality

The Daily Balance Report is designed to provide you with a comprehensive, transaction-level view of your merchant account's financial activity on a daily basis.

The report offers the following key functionalities to help you find and analyze the data you need:

  • Select Date Range: You can specify a start and end date to view the report for a particular period, allowing you to easily look up activity of any day for a custom duration.
  • Filter by Merchant Name: You can narrow down the results by selecting a specific Merchant Name from your accounts. This is useful for merchants with multiple accounts who need to focus on the balance activity of a single account.
  • The report only includes data for Interac.
