Stored Balance with Multi-channel Withdrawal Access

Abstract:

A stored balance with multi-channel withdrawal access is described. In an example, a server of a payment processing service can determine a stored balance based on funds received from point-of-sale (POS) transactions processed via the payment processing service on behalf of a merchant. The stored balance can be maintained in a ledger of the payment processing service. The server can associate the stored balance with a payment instrument of the merchant. The stored balance can be accessible via the payment instrument substantially immediately after funding of a transaction at the POS and via (i) an instant deposit to a linked bank account of the merchant and (ii) a scheduled deposit to the linked bank account, wherein the instant deposit is available substantially immediately after funding of the transaction and the scheduled deposit is made at a prearranged time after the funding of the transaction.
