A new producer, checked before the first payout

Jordan Blake joined in October and earns a first split this month. Is the person behind the name clean, did the bank account come from Jordan rather than from a mail, and who may see what?

The assistant

Ask it how much of the agency rests on one carrier

Commission from three carriers lands on one book: the composer counts what actually arrived over twelve months, not what was promised. The assistant in full →

What it takes on

How much hangs on one client
The largest client's share over twelve months, how many clients make up 80%, and what a month loses if the largest leaves.
The week's payments
The signing queue, the calendar and the forecast as one order: which of the nine fit this week and which two are marked move, with the day money is next expected.
A payee out of pattern
A payment that does not match the history of that payee and amount, on any rail, not only crypto. It explains and never blocks.

Who does what

Three people in the office,
five producers on the book

  • PrincipalSigns the producers' split, reads which carrier carries the agency, and confirms changed bank details by phone.
  • OperationsMoves the producers' share when the arrival rule names it (where arrival rules are switched on), prepares the split, checks new producers, and closes the month.
  • Account managerRuns the lead and marketing card inside its limit, and sends the receipts.
  • AccountantGets commission by carrier and the splits on their own lines, and reads the closed period without changing it.

Control and trust

A producer is paid only where they asked to be

Checked by name
A new producer is screened against sanctions and the other lists before the first payout, and the verdict sits on the card.
Their own details
A producer types their bank account on a link of their own, and a changed account is held until a second person confirms it by phone.
You sign the mandate
You sign the line above which a payout waits for a signature, and what the lead card may spend. The monthly split crosses that line, so it waits for the principal; a changed bank account waits for a phone call, and a payout out of pattern is named under it before anyone signs.
Prepared by one, signed by another
The monthly split is over the threshold, so it waits for a signature, and never from the person who prepared it.

All it takes: an email and one bill.

Questions

The questions that come first

Does Orla hold or account for our clients' premiums?

No. Premiums a client pays toward a policy often sit in a separate account with rules of their own, and Orla does not keep or account for that money. It keeps the agency's own: commission in, producers and suppliers out, and the month for the accountant.

Can the producers' share be worked out as commission arrives?

Where arrival rules are switched on for the space, an arrival rule speaks the moment a carrier's deposit reaches the book and names the share to set aside and the account it goes to. It moves nothing by itself: you move the money in your bank, and the transfer is recorded as a move between your own accounts.

Do producers need a seat?

No. A producer is a contact with a bank account on file. Only the people who prepare, sign or read the books take a seat.

Is a new producer checked before they are paid?

A counterparty check on their card screens them by name against sanctions, politically exposed persons, criminal lists and adverse media, and confirms a company number in its registry. It spends one check, and the verdict stays on the card with its date.
