Settlement-hold days is not same-day ACH fail
Release day − hold start day make hold days. Type both plus batches.
Pair: Settlement-hold days on Payments. Same-day: same-day ACH fail. Prenote: ACH prenote lag.
What you type
Hold start day — Day index when the SeamlessChex settlement hold began.
Release day — Day index when that hold released.
Batches — Settlement batches in that same hold window.
Hold days = release day − hold start day. Chase release / risk rules when hold days are fat — do not invent a hold chip.
What not to do
Do not invent hold days. Do not mix same-day ACH fails into day indexes. Do not treat prenote lag as settlement hold. Do not average every MID when one owns the hole.
