Can I expect a rolling reserve? As is customary with high risk accounts you should probably expect to have a reserve account. They are typically 10% to 15% rolling reserves for 6 months, depending on your industry and monthly volume. Here is how they work: out of each batch the percentage reserve is taken from the gross sales, and set aside in a reserve account. On the 7th month the funds are released to you for the first month, on the 8th month for the second month, and consequently. This is a continuous cycle. As good processing history occurs over time this may be reevaluated and reserve eliminated from your account status.
