Deposit routing
Learn how to route deposits collected through Yorlet to the correct schemes for payment.
Once you have collected a deposit from a tenant, you need to route the deposit to the correct scheme for payment. This process is known as deposit routing.
Setting up deposit routing
Create a supplier owner account
You need to create a supplier owner account to route deposits to the correct scheme. To create a supplier owner account, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Owners.
- Click Add owner.
- Select Supplier as the account type.
- Enter the required information, if you are routing deposits to a certain deposit protection scheme, you might name the account after the scheme.
- Click Create.
- Add the bank account details to the supplier account, these details will be used to pay the deposits to the scheme.
You should only create a supplier account if you are routing deposits to a third party. If you are routing deposits to your own account, you do not need to create a supplier account.
Create a deposit routing rule
To manage this setting, follow these steps:
- Navigate to Settings > Owners > Routing.
- Toggle on Deposit routing.
- Under Custodial schemes (UK deposits), select the supplier account you created in the previous step for the scheme you are routing deposits to.
- Click Save.
Now that you have set up deposit routing, any deposits collected through Yorlet will be automatically routed to the correct scheme for payment.
