The sub-client (aka merchant) feature allows you to create client accounts for deposit collection purposes. These virtual accounts can be issued to individuals, companies, or other organisations.

Note: This feature is OFF by default. Contact us if you want it.

Each sub-client will receive a dedicated BSB and virtual account number that you or your clients can use to accept and withdraw domestic AUD transfers within Australia.

Warning: This local account number can only process local transfers, no SWIFT/RTGS.

The account name is your sub-client's name. For companies - it's their tradingAsName or legalName. For individuals - it's their fullName (firstName + middleName + lastName).

If your Flash account has a multi-currency feature enabled, each of your sub-clients will also have access to virtual accounts in the selected currencies for which you hold balances.

All sent to your sub-client Virtual Account Numbers (VANs) are booked on your (master-client's) corresponding account balances. Sub-clients can't have their own balances.

You can and on behalf of your sub-clients by providing the sub-client ID when you create withdrawals or payments. This sub-client record will then be used as the sender, linked to the transaction, and reported to the government.

Notifications via will provide important sub-client information as well.
