# Settle Account

## Settle Account

Users can settle Notional accounts using the settleAccount function. If a user trades after a settlement, it will also automatically settle his account.

```
# Accounts holding fCash balances (positive or negative) in the 3M maturity need to 
be settled after the fCash maturity has passed and markets have been initialized.

notional.settleAccount(settledAccount, {'from': account})
```
