🏦Bank Accounts
Create local bank accounts globally without opening local entities. For example, instantly issue AED bank accounts to EU companies and USD bank accounts to South African businesses.
Align gives businesses instant local account presence across major markets without setting up local entities or banking relationships. Through a single API, companies can create named accounts in USD (SWIFT), EUR & AED with local account details for receiving and routing funds.
Each bank account acts like a local bank account or wallet address, enabling fast collections, instant settlement, and deterministic FX. Accounts plug directly into Align's payments and compliance engine, providing audit-ready controls, programmable workflows, and policy enforcement out of the box.
Use bank accounts to streamline customer collections, supplier payouts, treasury flows, and cross-border transfers. Align handles liquidity, local rails, and compliance, so global expansion becomes as simple as creating an account.
Key benefits
Faster global expansion with instant access to local account details
Automated routing and settlement through programmable workflows
Reduced operational overhead by offloading banking, liquidity, and compliance complexity
Difference between Bank Accounts and Virtual Accounts
Bank Accounts function like traditional local accounts. Your business can hold balances in the local currency, receive payments from customers, and send payouts.
Virtual Accounts are payment-routing tools. They let your end-users on-ramp and off-ramp funds through named account details, but they do not hold balances.
