Suggest Edits

You can fund your Multicurrency USD or EUR account via bank transfers, and the funds will be promptly reflected in your balance. Additionally, you will receive a web notification whenever your virtual account is credited through a bank transfer.

🚧

Important!!

Consult the guide here, for more information on how to treat requests for information on an expected deposit/inflow.

1 - Get the virtual account details

If the account details are not already saved on your end, you can retrieve them by calling our get virtual account endpoint using the virtual account ID. Below are sample responses for EUR and USD virtual accounts:

❗️

Note

When displaying the virtual account information to the customer for crediting, please ensure that the customer inputs the recipient's first and last name exactly as it appears on the EUR or USD account created on our platform via API. If the names do not match the account holder's name, the transaction will be returned.

2 - Receiving webhook notification

Once these details have been shared with the payer, you can expect a deposit notification when payment has been made. Please refer to our guide on setting up webhook notifications for more information. Additionally, transaction records are always available via your dashboard.

It is important to note that virtual accounts do not hold value themselves, as the funds are settled directly into your main wallet.

3 - Fetch payins into a virtual account

To retrieve a list of all inflows into a virtual account, you can make a GET request to our fetch virtual account payins endpoint using the virtual account ID. This allows you to track all transactions and manage your account effectively.

{{base_url}}/collections?business={business_id}&virtualAccount={virtual_account_id}

curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://sandboxapi.fincra.com/collections?virtualAccount=<The Virtual Account ID>' \
     --header 'accept: application/json'

Response:

{
    "success": true,
    "message": "Collections fetched successfully",
    "data": {
