Virtual Account (VA)

Overview

Virtual Account (VA) is a virtual account number used to identify a customer or a payment. The number embeds identifiers (for example, a customer ID and a unique suffix). This makes payments easier to match and confirm.

Types

VA types are commonly grouped by amount type and billing mechanism.

By amount, there are 2 types:

  • Open

    • The merchant does not set the bill amount.

    • The customer enters the amount when paying.

  • Closed

    • The merchant sets the bill amount.

    • The customer must pay the exact amount.

By billing mechanism, there are 2 types:

  • Static

    • The VA number can be reused for multiple payments.

  • Dynamic

    • The VA number is valid for a single payment.

Available VA providers

Finpay supports the following VA providers:

Requesting Prefix
