Where does this money come from ?

[msudan]

For 5-6 months, I ve earned money from appstore, and apple pays it with no problem.How ever sometimes i can not understand the region of payment that apple sends as i can not find any info about payments when i check my bank transfers...(it's written Apple,iTunes SARL, or totally different codes.. )

Is there an easy way to understand the payment of region ???

If you look in the financial reports section there are now *_PYMT.txt files for each region you receive a payment from that should help you identify which payments are for which region.

Thanks davek, however i already know this.. Sometimes, the amount of payments are very closed so i can not guess the region of payment come from...

For example, last friday, i got a payment with the sender info "OWI/BDCA".

Has anybody here got a payment with this sender info?

If yes, which region can you guess..

If you look at the wire transfer details you should be able to see the initiating entity / bank / currency. Pretty easy to figure it out from there.

like davek said, just match the amount paid to the financial report in itunes connect, that will tell you which region.

Yes this is true, the transfer and one of the _PYMT.txt file must match each other.. How ever, last friday i got a payment that does not match any of _PYMT.txt files in itunesconnect.

When i check the bank trasfer deatils, it is only written OWI and some codes, that ' s all. Also, i contacted with my bank about this topic, but they say samething which is what i see in details...

So ?

The PYMT files probably don't match because they are given to you in the origin country's currency. Just find a currency conversion calculator (there are many free ones online) and convert the PYMT file to your currency, then you should have a more exact number that you can try to match up to what you actually received in the bank.

itunes SARL means it's either from Europe, UK or RestOfTheWorld
for some regions there is usefull information in the transaction details. For example on the Australian payment I have the amount in australian dollars in the details

Thanks for this usefull info.

For Jan, i ve got 4 PYMT.txt files from Apple, these regions are
1. US__PYMT.txt
2. GB_PYMT.txt
3. EU_PYMT.txt
4. AU_PYMT.txt

When i check my past bank transfers, i see that there are 2 transfers from ITUNES SARL, one APPLE INC. and last, one OWI/BAFX0377-15JAN10

1 and 3 matches the ITUNES SARL transfers(amounts are closed each other)
2 matches i think APPLE INC.(amounts are closed each other)
and 4 must match to OWI but the amount of money in payment file and in my bank transfer did NOT match each other.
The transfer is much more than the amount written AU_PYMT file..
I wonder that for november WW payment (1109_WW_PYMT), there was a delay. Then, i forgot to check it if the transfer was done or not..

May this payment be that delayed transfer?
