What does rolling reserve mean?
A rolling reserve is a percentage of your total sales which is withheld by a credit card processor for six months in respect of possible future chargebacks. In month seven of your trading your rolling reserve will be released to you for the first month of trading, in month eight your reserve will be released for month 2, so you will always have a reserve of six months due to you. The reason behind it is very simple – the customers can do a charge back for the services or goods you provided to them.
