Adyen reconciliation for every settlement batch

Why Adyen settlements are hard to tie to the bank
Adyen processes many payment methods, currencies and sales channels through one account. Payments are settled in batches, and each payout to your bank is the net result of that batch after fees, refunds and chargebacks. For a finance team with high volumes, that means thousands of lines behind a handful of deposits.
- Fees differ by payment method, card type and region.
- Refunds and chargebacks are deducted from later batches.
- Payouts in one currency can contain payments made in several.
- Platform and marketplace models add splits between accounts.
Spreadsheets struggle at this volume, and every manual step adds a chance to miss a difference.
How to reconcile Adyen with Reconciles, step by step
-
01 Download the settlement details report from Adyen
In your Adyen Customer Area, open the reports section and download the settlement details report for each batch in the period, as CSV. Download your bank statement for the same period in CSV, MT940, CAMT.053 or another supported format.
-
02 Upload the report and the bank statement
Drop the bank statement in the first slot and the Adyen report in the second. On Scale you can send these files through the API or an SFTP drop on a schedule, which suits daily reconciliation. Reconciles reads the batch number, the record type, the gross and net amounts, the commission and the currencies.
-
03 Review matches and exceptions
Each batch is summed and matched to the deposit with the reason "payout batch net of fees". Payments inside the batch can be matched to orders or invoices in a second run. Batches that do not add up, deposits with no batch and duplicates are sent to the exceptions queue with the exact difference.
-
04 Export journal entries back to your ledger
Approved entries book commission and scheme fees to their cost accounts, refunds and chargebacks against revenue, and conversion differences on their own line. Export them as CSV for QuickBooks, Xero or NetSuite, along with the reconciliation report.
Daily Adyen reconciliation for platforms
Platform and fintech finance teams often reconcile every day instead of every month. With scheduled files on Scale, Reconciles runs the matching the moment the settlement report and the bank statement arrive, so the exceptions queue on Monday only holds what happened since Friday.

One settlement batch, end to end
Say batch 512 settles $18,400 to your bank. The settlement details report lists several hundred payments across cards and local payment methods, commission and scheme fees by line, two refunds and one chargeback. Reconciles sums every record of the batch, checks that the net equals the deposit and lists the parts under the match: gross payments, fees by type, refunds and the chargeback. If the batch total and the deposit differ by even a few cents, the batch goes to the exceptions queue as an amount difference with the exact figure, so nothing is rounded away.
