Last updated June 1, 2026
Sub-accounts are extra virtual account numbers under your business. You can create as many as you need, each with its own number.
Create a sub-account
- Open your accounts or virtual accounts section.
- Tap Create Sub-account.
- Name it for its purpose, such as a branch, product, or campaign.
- A new account number is generated instantly.
Use a sub-account
- Share its dedicated number with the relevant customers.
- Money sent to it lands in your balance, tagged to that sub-account.
- Track each sub-account's inflow separately.
Tip: There is no limit on sub-accounts, so create one per branch, event, or product line to keep reconciliation simple.
