What Is Balance Protection?
Balance Protection is an optional Truss service that helps you avoid the frustration of failed payments when your deposits and outgoing payments don’t line up perfectly.
Sometimes, the money you’ve earned is on its way, but hasn’t fully settled into your account yet. With Balance Protection, Truss provides a conditional credit to cover an authorized payment if your settled balance is too low. This ensures your payment still goes through on time—even if your deposits are lagging behind.
A 1.0% fee applies to the credited amount.
It’s not a loan or a line of credit—it’s simply early access to your incoming funds.
Once your deposits settle, the conditional credit is automatically cleared.
Why Use Balance Protection?
Balance Protection gives you:
Peace of mind knowing payments won’t bounce due to timing mismatches.
Stronger cash flow, keeping projects on schedule and vendors paid.
No interruptions, so you can focus on your work instead of worrying about bank delays.
Who Should Consider Balance Protection?
Balance Protection is a great fit if you:
Rely on timely vendor or payroll payments.
Have experienced delays in deposits clearing while payments were due.
Want a low-cost safety net to keep funds moving smoothly.
If your cash flow is steady and you rarely see gaps between deposits and payments, you may not need this service. But if you often find yourself stressed about timing, Balance Protection can make all the difference.
