Integration Flow - Virtual Accounts used as Transfer Wallets

Learn how you can use ZWITCH to create a virtual account used as a transfer wallet from your application.

Suggest Edits

Functionally, transfer wallets are similar to physical accounts. These transfer wallets also come with an account number and IFSC.

You can only use these transfer wallets to transfer money. You cannot receive payments in this account. Loading money to your virtual account used as a transfer wallet from your bank account is only allowed through a verified remitter account.

Currently, you can only verify and link three accounts to load money

Integrating your application with ZWITCH lets your customer open a virtual account used as a transfer wallet.
