In order to customize the descriptor that appears on a Merchant Disbursement Payrix clients can add a Secondary Statement Descriptor on the entity or a payout/withdrawal schedule. This will append the end of the Disbursement Descriptor (before the Merchant Name) to help merchants differentiate disbursements from Payrix.
