What is a payment account?

A payment account can be opened via a payment institution or via an electronic money institution. This allows an individual or company to have an account with an IBAN without needing to go through a bank. In this case, a framework payment services contract is signed between the user and the establishment.

The payment account thus opened can only be used to carry out payment transactions (transfer, direct debit, card). It does not, for example, allow users to have a checkbook or be overdrawn. 

The payment account with an IBAN allows you to efficiently manage day-to-day financial flows. 

How does a payment account work?

How a payment account works is simple.

  1. Transaction management: payment accounts allow you to receive various transactions: reception or issuance of transfers, reception or issuance of instant transfers, reception or issuance of core or B2B direct debits, receipt of card payments or issuance of a card. Transactions can also be made online or in-store.

2. Quick account creation for your users: each user or company can have one or more accounts. After opening the payment account, the holder receives a Bank Identity Statement (RIB).


3. Security and Compliance: all flows comply with regulatory requirements (DSP2, AML/CFT) to guarantee reliable, secure and compliant transactions.


In Treezor’s model, payment service provider agents access an API to submit their KYC or KYB, and open payment accounts subject to KYC validation. They play the role of intermediaries between Treezor and end users (individuals or companies). Agents benefit from complete outsourcing of payment services, and Treezor provides them with a set of tailor-made features depending on their project.

Thus, in this context, the Treezor client acts as an agent providing payment services, in accordance with article L. 523-3 of the French Monetary and Financial Code.
