Virtual IBANs: What Are They and How Can They Benefit Your Business?

Share this post

Recent improvements in payment technology have led to breakthroughs in cross-border payments, where businesses can expand into new, international markets.

One of these breakthrough technologies is virtual IBANs, which are fast becoming an integral part of embedded finance. But what they are, and how they can benefit your business?

Virtual IBANs are a digital representation of a real-world bank account.

They’re used to send and receive payments from customers and clients and can be used in conjunction with other virtual accounts to make cross-border payments more efficient. 

This is an important part of embedded finance as it allows businesses to offer their customers a local banking experience, regardless of where they are in the world. 

The benefits:

  • Cost-effective 
  • Time-saving 
  • Improves security 
  • Enhances customer experience 
  • Expands your business’s reach
  • Keeps things simple

Speaking of keeping things simple, with no-code, low-code options available through Orenda’s embedded finance platform, businesses can now integrate virtual IBANs into their proposition with ease and without the usual associated costs and time scales of development.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
