Common questions about how Clever Connect works. For the full detail behind each answer, follow the links through to the relevant page.
No. Your balance model is fixed once your account is activated and cannot be changed afterwards. Choose carefully during onboarding.
No. Existing merchants automatically continue on the Aggregated Balance model with no changes to their workflows. There is no balance migration, no historical transaction migration, and no impact on existing settlements or withdrawals.
It depends on your model. Aggregated Balance merchants do not need to select an account. Dedicated Balance merchants must select one.
No. Historical transactions stay exactly where they are and are not migrated.
Because it keeps funds clearly separated. It suits merchants who run multiple businesses or brands, who need separate balances for different payment flows, or who want cleaner reconciliation and reporting at the account level.
Because it is the simplest option. It suits merchants who want a single balance view, who do not need funds separated by account, and who prefer the same behaviour existing Clever merchants already use.
Only the account you select is affected. Every other account balance stays untouched.
Currently two: AUD (provided through Banking Circle) and JPY (provided through GMO). See Treasury Accounts.
Always Dedicated Balance. Because Treasury Accounts are a newer feature, each one holds its own separate balance and is never combined with other accounts.
After creating a Treasury Account, you can simulate a deposit. For AUD, use the TestBank simulator at https://test-bank.cleverhub.co/bsb-info. For JPY, call the simulate_deposit API. Both then appear in the account’s transaction history and update its balance. See the deposit flow.
After creating a transfer (status: Processing), copy its Balance ID from the confirmation screen and call POST {{v2_url}}/transfers/simulate with that uuid and a status of completed or failed. See the transfer flow.
On the merchant dashboard, under the Treasury Account’s Account Details tab: account name, account number, BSB code, and bank name. See finding your account details.
