All internal agents and Brokers MUST BE PAID OUT, even if there's a $0 payout to the agent! The reason for this is because their deductions in the deal are tied to the agent and their payout and will not be posted over to your accounting software if the deal remains unpaid.

When a deal closes and you receive the final funds and are ready to payout you need to ensure that you Deposit funds to the correct bank account -

Once you have Deposited funds are into the correct Account you will see the balance appear under the Transactions Page as below:
