Cash flow and sweeps
the short day, covered before it comes
Orla runs every payment against the days ahead. When a day would run short, money moves between your own accounts first: a small sweep goes by itself inside the mandate, a larger one waits for your press. Nothing leaves the company to do it.

Sweeps
Your own accounts first
small by itself, larger by your press
- Reserve → Operating28 Sep · $1,500Swept by itself
- Reserve → Operating11 Oct · $4,000Waits for you
- Between your own accounts only
- A sweep never pays anyone. It moves money between accounts the company holds, inside the mandate's limits.
- One card with every lever
- When a day is short you get one card: sweep, move a bill later inside its due date, or chase the client who owes.
Reserve
A reserve that holds
and a word before it breaks
- Floor
- $5,000
- Forecast crosses it
- 14 Oct
- Runway
- 9 months
- A floor per account
- Name the least each account should hold, and Orla warns days before the forecast crosses it.
- Runway in months
- Burn and runway, read from your own books.
- Idle USDC can earn
- Lend idle USDC on Aave from your own wallet. It is not a bank deposit and it is not insured.
On autopilot
What goes by itself
and what still waits for you
Goes by itself
- A bill or a payout inside its budget in the mandate
- From Revolut Business, Airwallex, PayPal or the account inside Orla
- An agent's card or API spend inside its cap
Waits for you
- A new payee, and bank details that changed
- Anything past a budget or a limit
- Every payment from Mercury, Slash, a Safe or a wallet you sign
The brakes above both
- $2,000 a payment and $10,000 a day until you change them
- Loosening a limit waits 24 to 72 hours
- One pause stops every payment at once
Questions
About cash and sweeps
the short answers
Can a sweep pay someone outside the company?
No. A sweep only moves money between accounts the company holds.
Does the forecast guess my everyday spending?
The calendar walks only what is scheduled, so its figures add up to the list. The forecast in Reports also counts the last ninety days of everyday spending.
Can Orla move a bill later to save a short day?
It proposes it, never past the bill's due date, and you press.
Is the yield on Aave safe?
It is lending on chain, not a bank deposit, and it is not insured. You choose whether to use it and how much.
