How can my settlements be identified by site name?

Due to the nature of how settlements work in third party deposit accounts, we are limited to a total of 7 characters that will appear in the settlement description. Because of this, we recommend ensuring that your site names are easily identifiable in the first 7 characters.
For example, if you operate a business named Katherine's Cafe in three different cities/towns, you may have your site names as follows:
  • Katherine's Cafe - London
  • Katherine's Cafe - Manchester
  • Katherine's Cafe - Liverpool
Since the description is limited to 7 characters, all the resulting settlements will look like this:
  • Direct Credit 613572 Zeller Katheri06042213:00
Good example:
  • KCLON
  • KCMAN
  • KCLIV
The description limit will still show the exact site that the settlement is related to like this:
  • Direct Credit 613572 Zeller KCLON06042213:00
  • Direct Credit 613573 Zeller KCMAN06042213:00
  • Direct Credit 613574 Zeller KCLIV06042213:00

If you're experiencing any issues with your settlements after following the recommended guidelines, please contact our Support team.
