The service offers, through our Finanical Clearning House partner, financial clearing supporting roaming and interworking business by reconciling all accounts and financial transactions with your Roaming Partners and/or Inter-Working Partners.  Included are handling of incoming/outgoing invoice (produce, dispatch, collect, validate and if needed dispute), credit/debit generation, settlement and payment as well as credit collection.

The incoming invoice reconciliation from roaming traffic is based on the validated TAP/RAP data delivered from the Data Clearing House with the relevant Financial Clearing report, being RTDR the current standard.

For SMS IW traffic the incoming invoices are reconciled against the bulk files delivered from SMS IW service provider.

Settlement on Special IOT (Discount agreements) is managed and the calculated, and with your Roaming Partner aligned, result is sent by bulk-files to your FCH for the producing of credit notes to be exchanged with your Roaming Partner.

Collection and outstanding payment is managed if, after 3 months, no payment is made by your Roaming Partner. Then Global Wholesale is taking over, in close contact with you, the follow up by getting open balance from FCH and contacting the Roaming Partner for missing payment, and if needed initiate escalations.
