Sub-Accounts

Set up virtual sub-accounts for control at scale

Named sub-accounts allow businesses to open multiple virtual IBAN accounts under their main account. Virtual accounts assigned to specific entities, clients, or functions, offer clear oversight without adding operational complexity.

Why businesses and fintechs use sub-accounts

As payment firms scale, so does operational complexity. Sub-accounts can bring structure without multiple individual banking relationships.

Clear separation of funds

Clear separation of funds

Clearly separate funds for subsidiaries, clients, or specific purposes. With sub-accounts it’s easier to create segregation and control over your business.

Each sub-account has its own IBAN, making it easier to identify incoming payments, track balances, and reconcile activity accurately.

Built to scale

Open new sub-accounts as your business evolves, whether that’s onboarding new clients, launching in new markets, or expanding internal operations.

Built for complex business profiles

Sub-accounts have a wide range of use cases including for:


  • Subsidiaries or SPVs

  • Client money or trading flows

  • Treasury, payroll, or operational accounts

  • Region or product-specific activity


If you're a business with high-volume payment flows – for example, financial institutions, trading firms, or multi-entity businesses – this feature could benefit you.


All sub-accounts sit within IFX Payments' multi-currency account structure and are subject to usual onboarding requirements.
