Reserved accounts
Give a customer a permanent account number they can pay into again and again.
Issue virtual bank accounts on demand, let customers pay by ordinary bank transfer, and know exactly who paid what without reading a single statement.
One shared company account means every transfer arrives as a name and a narration you have to decode by hand. A dedicated virtual account removes the guesswork: the account number itself tells you who paid.
Create accounts from the dashboard when you need a handful, or from the API when you need thousands.
Give a customer a permanent account number they can pay into again and again.
Spin up an account at checkout, at signup, or the moment an order is placed.
Every credit appears in your transactions view with the customer, amount and time attached.
Point Volboo at your endpoint and your own system hears about a payment as it happens.
Move your balance to your own bank account whenever you want, with no waiting period.
Accounts are issued through our licensed banking partners, BellMonie and 9PSB.
