Operational detail
The operational half of every method profile — settlement, refunds, disputes, PSP coverage and licensing — is reserved for Payment Methods List founding partners. It's the part vendor sites won't publish and the part that actually decides whether Multibanco works for your stack.
Settlement time
The gap between the payer's cash payment at the point of sale and funds arriving in the merchant account, how reconciliation files are delivered, weekend and holiday behaviour in Portugal, and the aggregators that shorten the cycle.
