Virtual Account Generation

The Virtual Account Generation endpoint allows you to create unique, reserved bank account numbers linked to your Transactpay account. These accounts are useful for:

💸 Receiving customer payments
📊 Tracking transactions per user or department
⚙️ Automating financial workflows

Virtual accounts simplify reconciliation, increase automation, and enhance transaction-level visibility.
