Problem statement
Multi-currency payouts create mismatches because gross sales, fees, FX conversion, reserves, and final bank cash can all be measured in different currencies or converted on different dates.
Numeric example
| Line item | Amount |
|---|
| Gross sales in EUR | EUR 1,000.00 |
| Net payout in USD | USD 1,062.00 |
| Bank deposit in USD | USD 1,040.00 |
| Open difference needing FX review | USD 22.00 |
Why the numbers do not match
- The sale currency can differ from the payout currency.
- FX conversion may happen before the payout or at the withdrawal stage.
- Fees and reserves may be charged in a different currency than the bank deposit.
- A bank amount can look short even when the remaining gap is an FX or timing issue.
What files to export
- Payout export with payout currency, net payout amount, dates, and payout IDs.
- Activity or balance export with gross rows, fees, FX-related rows, reserves, and references.
- Bank statement export with final bank-currency deposit amount and date.
Manual workflow
- Identify the currencies used in the source activity, payout, and bank deposit.
- Separate FX-related rows from ordinary fees and refunds.
- Reconcile one payout cycle at a time in the payout currency before comparing the final bank amount.
- Match the payout and bank deposit with conservative wording if the remaining gap may still be FX-related.
- Keep unsupported conversion differences open until the export proves the rate or conversion step.
Review checks
- FX rows were treated as normal processing fees.
- The payout currency and bank currency were mixed in one comparison.
- A conversion difference was closed without supporting export evidence.
How Reconcile Locally helps
- Keeps payout, activity, and bank exports together when several currencies are involved.
- Helps reviewers preserve FX-related differences as open evidence instead of forcing them into fees.
- Produces a report that shows what matched and what still needs FX review.
What still needs manual review
- Exact FX treatment can depend on processor behavior and export coverage.
- Final accounting, tax, and realized-unrealized FX treatment remain outside the reconciliation review itself.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the bank deposit not equal the sales total in a multi-currency setup?
Because the sales currency, payout currency, and bank currency may all differ. Fees, reserves, and conversion timing can change the final bank amount before the cash arrives.
Should I classify the full gap as FX immediately?
No. Keep the wording conservative unless the export actually proves the conversion step or rate behind the remaining difference.
