Daily Authorization Report Basics

The Daily Authorization Report provides a detailed overview of payments that were authorized on the previous business day. An authorized transaction refers to an ACH, debit, or credit card payment for which the merchant has obtained approval from the issuing bank. The Daily Authorization Report contains essential information such as the type of payment authorized, authorized amount, date of authorization, and other corresponding details.

**It is important to note that the figures displayed in this report do not reflect the actual funds that will appear in your bank account. For an accurate representation of the amount, it is advised to refer to the Daily Settlement Report.**
