At least one account must be the "remainder account", which will receive any leftover salary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix fixed amounts and percentages?
No. You must choose one method.
What if my salary varies month to month?
- Percentage splits adjust automatically with your salary
- Fixed-amount splits always pay the set amounts first (if available), with the remainder account handling variations
What happens if I don't set a remainder account with fixed amounts?
You must designate one account as the remainder account when using fixed-amount splits. This ensures any leftover funds have a destination.
Which account types are supported?
Most bank accounts work, including those from pension providers and investment platforms that provide banking details.
