Q: Why Set Cash Flow Items Before Adding Funds to Automated Accounts?

  A: When using the automated payout feature in CashWise, it’s important to set a Cash Reserve or Payout before adding funds to your Airwallex or Wise account.  If you add funds to your account without first setting the payout, there is a chance that the CashWise system may detect the newly added funds as idle cash and automatically transfer them to an investment account. This can cause unintended movement of your funds and may delay or disrupt your scheduled payouts. So setting cash flow items first ensures that the system properly allocates and protects the funds you need for the scheduled payout.

What should I do if I need to top up excess cash for spending?/ What does target balance mean?

  With CashWise, the process is simplified.

With CashWise, you only need to: Enter the total amount you need for a specific day. Select the account where the funds should be available. CashWise will automatically calculate the shortfall, pull the required funds, and ensure the specified amount is ready on the payment day. How Is It Different? For example, if you have $150k worth of payments due next week but only $100k in your account: Traditionally, you would calculate the difference ($50k), then manually move the funds. With CashWise, you simply set the amount you need ($150k) and the system ensures the full...
