How do Virtual Accounts work?

Virtual accounts are much like regular checking accounts but everything exists online. This means that there are no physical bank accounts, and all access is available online. 

With virtual accounts, you get a better cash concentration, improved bank account consolidation, and improvements in the payroll reconciliation process. Not only that but you save money for you and your customers with more affordable account maintenance fees.

Sila’s virtual accounts allows customers to set up a virtual account for end-users, which provides them with an account and routing number capable of receiving incoming or external ACH transactions. Customers can open, close, update, and more for virtual accounts all in the dashboard.

What are the business requirements for using Virtual Accounts?

All Sila users must be qualified to use our services. This means that your business must be incorporated in the U.S. and each end user must pass SSN verification or EIN verification.
