Overview
Bank Reconciliation allows you to reconcile the transactions you have made with the payment batches you have received from the acquirer to your bank account. Blink will list every payment made from the acquirer, which can then be broken down into individual transactions - including the details of refunds and service charges.

You can see the Transaction Date, Card Brand, and Amount for each transaction.
