The path cash takes has not changed in decades…
A customer pays you for a product or services. The cash gets put into a drawer, and eventually, one or two managers bring the money to the bank to be deposited. Sometimes this process takes days, and as time passes, rolling deposits become a vehicle for theft. Once the cash is deposited, the financial institution reconciles the deposit, and a few days later, the money finally makes it to your concentration account.
Provisional Credit was supposed to change everything, but includes challenges.
Provisional Credit was designed to remedy this, and it works… kind of.
Provisional Credit has transformed industries but that doesn’t mean it’s the only or best option available. When cash is deposited into a retailer’s smart safe; information about this deposit is immediately transmitted to the bank, and provisional funds are credited to the retailer’s account while the cash remains secured in the safe. Eventually, a cash-in-transit service collects the money, delivering it to their cash vault.
Businesses integrate this model into their daily operations. Challenges can arise when the cash is finally reconciled days later and the deposit is either correct, over, or under. If the provisional credit does not align with the actual deposit, the financial institution must adjust the final amount. This can lead to mistakes, or worse, costly chargebacks or time consuming transaction disputes.
Now, there’s an alternative. CashSimple®.
