After creating a Reserve Account, all reserve-related transactions will appear in that account’s transaction history.
Reserve Flow of Funds
When you set a reserve limit for a target account, the system automatically pulls funds from the Reserve Account to cover any transaction that would otherwise make the target account balance negative.How it works
- Transaction attempts to overdraw the target account
- System checks if the transaction amount is within the reserve limit
- If yes, and the Reserve Account has sufficient funds, money transfers automatically to cover the transaction
- If the limit is exceeded or the Reserve Account lacks sufficient funds, the transaction is blocked and no funds move
Important limitations

/reserve

field to zero - The system does not automatically replenish the Reserve Account
- The system does not automatically recover funds from the target account
- You must manually reconcile funds using ACH transfers, book transfers, or other methods
