What is a virtual account?

Virtual account means a digital account that is designed to streamline the financial processes of businesses. These are similar to bank accounts with various other added benefits. Virtual accounts are commonly used for collecting payments from customers. Each customer is assigned a unique virtual account number. When they make a payment, the funds are automatically routed to the company's actual bank account associated with that virtual account.

Is a virtual account a bank account?

A virtual account is not a traditional bank account, but it is a financial tool used by banks, fintechs, and businesses to manage funds and transactions. Virtual account is used for various purposes, such as receivables and payables, segregating funds, simplifying reconciliation, and improving cash flow management.

Under receivables, it lets the account holders and those interacting with it make and receive payments quickly. For instance, if you have several customers who have to make payments to your account, you can create virtual accounts within your business bank account and embed the link in the invoice that you send to customers. When customers remit the payment using the link, it will make it easier to track the payment to the customer and reconcile accounts.

Any person who is above legal age, which is 18 years old, can open a virtual account as long as they have access to the internet and have an internet-connectible digital device to support transactions.

There are many advantages that virtual accounts offer, including ease of use, the ability to offer better customer service, real-time updating of their accounts with the payments received, prevention of fraud, and, most important of all, how traceable virtual accounts are to specific customer accounts and their payments.

What are the steps to open a virtual account?

To open a virtual account, you need to connect with a bank or a fintech, depending on your business requirement. You will be required to submit documents for verification and customer onboarding. Once the onboarding process is completed, your virtual account will be set up. Each virtual account will typically have its own account number, and you may receive login credentials or access through the portal.

Does the virtual account module help improve the finance team’s performance? If yes, how?

It removes the personal bias factor when it comes to deciding on credit terms for customers.
