About Virtual Accounts

Focus on running your business - not on reconciliation.

Virtual Accounts give you the flexibility to design a virtual accounting structure that best fits your business needs. Enjoy enhanced visibility, control and security to help you run your business.

Reduce administrative costs and effort
Open and manage virtual accounts as you need them in near real-time via Online Banking for Business.

Manage cash flow more effectively
Segregating your transactions makes it easier to track and reconcile your payments and collections.
Make informed decisions faster
One central physical account gives you a single view of your cash position and helps you make quicker, more informed business decisions.

Protect against fraud
Using virtual accounts means your physical account number is never revealed to customers or suppliers.

Virtual accounts are ideal if you: 

  • Get regular payments, like rent or insurance premiums, from multiple customers. Set up a virtual account for each customer and you’ll know immediately when they made a payment. No need to match their invoice to their customer account. 

  • Want an easier way to track expenses and revenue for your suppliers, departments, or locations. Let’s say your store has 50 locations. Giving each location a virtual account for expenses and sales would make it easier to track their overall performance. 

  • Would like a simpler way to centralize your cash. Transactions are allocated to virtual accounts, but your liquidity is pooled in one physical account. This allows you to easily track and control your cash flow while taking advantage of any available interest income.
