General Settlement and Funding Cycle in Australia

Cash flow is essential for running a business. Nuvei understands what it means to you and offers 3 funding cycle options to cater to your business needs: Same Day Funding, Next Day Funding and Same Business Day Funding. On this page, you will learn about the expected funding timings based on the funding cycle you signed up for.

Note: All time zones mentioned below follow New South Wales's time zone.

What is the difference between Same Day, Same Business Day and Next Day funding?

Timing is the biggest difference. Next Business Day Funding cycle allows Nuvei a longer lead time to transfer your funding, while you will get the funding within hours after settlement with Same Business Day and Same Day Funding cycle. See below for a detailed explanation of the difference.

Same Day Funding: If you settle before the official cut-off time of day*, the funding will be transferred to your bank account by the close of business. Otherwise, the funding will be available on the next day. Same-day funding is processed 7 days a week unless otherwise notified to you in advance.

Same Business Day Funding: If you settle before the official cut-off time of the business day* between Monday to Friday, the funding will be transferred to your bank account by the close of business. However, if you settle before the official cut-off time of day* over the weekend (Saturday & Sunday), the funding will be available on the next business day.

Next Day Funding: If you settle before the official cut-off time of business day*, the funding will be transferred to your bank account on the next business day. Otherwise, the funding will be available after 2 business days. If the funding day falls on a weekend, the funding will be available on the next business day.

*Nuvei official cut-off time: In-person payment (8:25PM AEST/AEDT each day), Online payment (6:00PM AEST/AEDT each day)

Please note: If the funding day falls on a New South Wales public holiday or a bank holiday, the funding will be available the on next business day for Same Day Funding and Next-Day Funding models. For Same Business Day Funding, if the funding day falls on a New South Wales public holiday or a bank holiday that occurs between Monday to Friday, the funding will be available on the next business day.
