All merchants start with a pre-agreed deposit amount. A deposit correction occurs when your deposit amount increases or decreases depending on your exposure to risk.
Risk exposure is primarily affected by changes in:
- Processed volume
- Chargebacks
- Refunds
If your exposure to risk increases, your deposit will increase accordingly (and vice versa). In order to ensure the correct deposit is held, funds may be debited/credited from your settlement. This is booked as deposit correction. Find more information in our documentation here: Deposit correction.
