eCommerce virtual IBAN providers

What is a virtual IBAN account and how can it help e-commerce?

A virtual IBAN account is an account with an International Bank Account Number connected to a standard bank account that can be accessed digitally. In many countries, bank accounts are designated with an IBAN for routing purposes.

Having a virtual IBAN account allow you to bank in multiple currencies, using multiple payment networks, including local networks to make payments in countries outside of your country of incorporation. For instance, a virtual IBAN from Payset allows you to bank like a local in the US, EU, UK, and Canada. This allows e-commerce businesses to more easily and affordably manage cross-border transactions.

Frequently
asked questions

What are the benefits of a virtual IBAN?

Having a virtual IBAN account provides all the benefits of a regular IBAN attached to a standard bank account. Payset provides a virtual IBAN number attached to a larger account held in a financial institution in the US, UK, Canada, or EU that you can use to send and receive funds locally or internationally. 

With a virtual IBAN, you avoid many of the fees and complexities associated with having an IBAN at a brick-and-mortar institution. In other words, you can take advantage of a US bank account without actually having to be in the US, for instance.

Virtual IBANs are useful because they allow companies to work with cross-border transactions more efficiently and affordably.

The holder of a virtual IBAN account should see no difference between a virtual IBAN account and a standard IBAN account, making this a convenient option for all parties.
