Account issuance capability

Dedicated, virtual, and embedded IBAN issuance

Dedicated, virtual, and embedded IBAN issuance matters when institutions need multiple account-addressing models for different servicing, reconciliation, or distribution needs. The value is not only issuing an IBAN, but choosing the right structure for direct customer accounts, operational segmentation, or embedded distribution.

Modular delivery. Launch with the capabilities needed first, then extend the platform with additional rails, channels, and servicing workflows as demand grows.

Overview

Overview

This capability covers the different ways institutions can issue and manage IBAN-based account structures across direct customer propositions, operational routing models, and embedded-finance distribution.

A dedicated IBAN is assigned directly to one customer or business. It fits account models where the institution wants a clear one-to-one relationship between the account holder and the IBAN used for incoming and outgoing payment activity.

A virtual IBAN is typically used for routing, reconciliation, or balance segmentation while linking back to an underlying account structure. It is useful when institutions need more flexible payment addressing without creating a completely separate customer account for each flow.

An embedded IBAN is exposed through a partner, platform, or white-label proposition as part of an embedded-finance model. It supports use cases where banking capability is delivered inside another product experience rather than only through the institution's own direct channel.

In scope

Included in this capability

  • Support direct customer account issuance through dedicated IBAN structures.
  • Use virtual IBAN models where routing, reconciliation, or account segmentation needs more flexibility.
  • Enable embedded IBAN propositions for partner-led or white-label financial products.
  • Keep issuance models aligned with customer servicing, payments, controls, and reporting.
