OCAOperating Cash Account70%
BWBonus Wallet30%

Operating Cash Account (OCA)

The OCA is for withdrawable cash. It receives 70% of earned commissions.

  • Can be withdrawn to bank account
  • Minimum withdrawal: $150 (after fees)
  • Maximum withdrawal: $3,000 per transaction

Bonus Wallet (BW)

The BW is for additional CSR delivery. It receives 30% of earned commissions.

Managed Purchase Pool (MPP)

The MPP allows members to pool resources to purchase CSR collectively on the open exchange.
