## Settlement profiles \*new\*
A settlement profile is a way to segment different lines of business into different settlement buckets. There is a default settlement profile provided. There is no need to pass the `settlementProfileID` if there is only one settlement preference, it will inherently fall to the default profile.
Lines of business (LOBs)
Spendify is a wallet/banking institution who has customers in several countries; United States, Canada, India and Mexico. Although Spendify is a single company these LOBs move money differently and would like to settle these LOBs separately to reduce confusion among their operational teams.

### Deposits
When making deposit requests, ensure you pass the associated `settlementProfileID` with the specific line of business.
### Withdrawals
When making withdrawal requests, ensure you pass the associated `settlementProfileID` with the specific line of business.
### Settlement reports
Settlement reports will now include `settlementProfileID` for each individual settlement profile.
