This feature is in private beta and is currently available to a limited number of clients. To join our private beta, contact Support.

To maintain a certain maximum balance in your accounts, set up automated VRP sweeping. By default, automated sweeping is not enabled. You need to finish your KYC onboarding before proceeding with setting up sweep accounts.

Note: GBP sweeping must target a UK IBAN.

Once setup at regular intervals, any available balance in excess of the configured max_amount_in_minor is withdrawn to a pre-configured IBAN. The default time interval for automated sweeping is daily.

You can update your sweep configurations (such as changing the frequency or max_amount_in_minor) by making a POST /v1/sweep call with the updated values. We will use the latest value for a given currency.
