HitPay launches Virtual Accounts to streamline B2B collections for businesses
- HitPay introduces Virtual Accounts, enabling businesses to manage customer payments and B2B collections within a single HitPay account while continuing to accept existing payment methods.
- The feature supports over 15,000 finance teams across Singapore, the Philippines, and Malaysia, aiming to reduce manual work and improve payment operations as businesses scale.
- Virtual Accounts provide dedicated account details for corporate customers to make bank transfers, with real-time payment confirmation and integrated reconciliation in the HitPay Dashboard.
- Designed for higher-value B2B transfers, Virtual Accounts charge a fixed fee per transfer instead of percentage-based fees, improving cost efficiency.
- Virtual Accounts operate under HitPay’s regulatory licenses in Singapore and the Philippines and function as a collection method, with funds flowing into the merchant’s HitPay Wallet before payout.
- HitPay’s CFO Stack roadmap includes future phases adding BillPay for supplier invoice management and Payroll and Spend Management to further integrate financial workflows.
