Virtual Account Creation

Summary

Create Virtual Accounts on demands, receive funds from customers via Virtual Account Number and get notification on Virtual Accounts usage.

Dedicated Virtual Accounts (DVAs) is a service that lets you create Nigerian virtual accounts for your customers. These accounts allow your customers to receive payment from their customers.

When you create a Dedicated Virtual Account (DVA) for a customer, all bank transfers to that account will automatically be recorded as transactions from that customer.
