Current Prefunding Optimization

  • Current prefunding: $500,000 with Uniteller
  • Daily average volume: $227,030 ($2,043,268 ÷ 9 days)
  • Settlement terms: Daily ACH settlement (T+1, next-day)

Capital Requirements Calculation

Scenario Days Coverage Required Capital Can Release Risk Level
Conservative 2.2 days (current) $500,000 $0 Low Risk
Optimal 2.0 days $454,060 $45,940 Low Risk
Balanced 1.9 days $431,357 $68,643 Medium Risk
Aggressive (Recommended) 1.87 days $425,000 $75,000 Medium Risk
Maximum Aggressive 1.76 days $400,000 $100,000 High Risk

💡 Recommended Action: Request $75,000 Back from Uniteller

  • Current situation: You have $500,000 prefunded with Uniteller right now.
  • What to ask for: Request to reduce prefunding to $425,000 → Uniteller sends you back $75,000
  • Why this works: With T+1 settlement, you need 2 days coverage = $454,060. At $425K, you still have $198K cushion above daily volume.
  • Freed capital: The $75,000 they return can be redeployed to Transnetwork (60.4% market share) or other operational needs.
  • Risk mitigation: $425K covers 1.87 days of volume - tight but safe given reliable next-day ACH settlement.
  • Monthly impact: You still process $2M+/month through Uniteller, just with 15% less capital locked up.

Subject: Request to Optimize Uniteller Prefunding Account

Hi [Uniteller Contact],

Based on our recent transaction analysis (October 6-14), I'd like to optimize our prefunding arrangement:

Current Analysis:
• Daily average volume: $227,030
• Current prefunding: $500,000 (2.2 days coverage)
• Settlement: Daily ACH (T+1)

Proposed Adjustment:
• Reduce prefunding to: $425,000
• Return to MyBambu: $75,000
• New coverage: 1.87 days (still well above minimum requirements)

This optimization allows us to maintain seamless operations while deploying capital more efficiently across our vendor portfolio. Given our reliable settlement history and stable daily volumes, $425K provides adequate coverage.

Can we schedule a call this week to discuss? I'd like to process this adjustment by [date].

Best regards,
[Your name]

How We Got Here: The Math

Step 1: Calculate daily average
Total Uniteller volume (9 days): $2,043,268
Daily average: $2,043,268 ÷ 9 = $227,030/day

Step 2: Determine minimum float (T+1 settlement)
With next-day ACH settlement, you need to cover:
• Today's outgoing transactions: $227,030
• Yesterday's pending ACH: $227,030
Minimum required: 2 days × $227,030 = $454,060

Step 3: Assess current buffer
Current prefunding: $500,000
Minimum required: $454,060
Current buffer: $500,000 - $454,060 = $45,940

Step 4: Aggressive optimization
Target: 1.87 days coverage (slightly below 2-day minimum)
New prefunding: $425,000
Capital released: $500,000 - $425,000 = $75,000

Risk assessment:
$425K ÷ $227K daily = 1.87 days coverage
Buffer above 1-day volume: $425K - $227K = $198K (87% cushion)
Acceptable if settlement is reliable and volume is stable ✓
