Bolt follows industry-standard practices for settlement and funding. The typical process takes approximately two days from order placement to availability, and works as follows:

Payout Timeline 

1. Card network transactions are captured by 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET each business day.
2. Card network transactions are settled at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET the following business day. 
   • Funds are moved from unsettled to settled balance. 
   • Funds become transferrable to your bank account.
3. Bolt transfers funds settled since last business day at 12 p.m. PT/3 p.m. ET, each business day. 
   • Daily transactions become exportable from the merchant dashboard at this point.

Detailed Settlement & Payout Schedule (Eastern Time)
