Business accounts: definition and regulatory framework for companies offering financial services

Companies wishing to offer business accounts to their customers must ensure that they comply with the applicable regulatory framework. This involves meeting requirements in terms of anti-money laundering (AML-CFT), protecting customers’ funds and securing transactions via standards such as Strong Customer Authentication or Verification of Payee (VoP). By working with an authorized electronic money (or payment) institution such as Treezor, these companies benefit from all of these services without having to obtain a license themselves or have a payment infrastructure.

Treezor supports companies by simplifying the management of their regulatory and technical obligations and enabling them to integrate advanced financial services into their web or mobile applications.

How does Treezor facilitate the integration of business accounts?

Companies that want to add business accounts to their range of services are meeting an essential need for entrepreneurs and the self-employed: separating personal and business finances. This offers several key advantages:

Simplification of tax and accounting procedures

A dedicated business account allows your end-user customers to better track their transactions and easily justify their income and expenses, in short, to facilitate their administrative management. This separation is particularly useful when filing tax returns or in the event of an audit.

 

Enhanced credibility

By having a business account, entrepreneurs and the self-employed, who represent the core of your customer base, project a more reliable and serious image to their partners, suppliers and investors. This strengthens their legitimacy and can facilitate access to certain financial services, such as financing.

Advanced payment features and tailor-made hyper-personalization

With the Card Account Selection (CAS) solution, offer flexible management of card-linked accounts. You can define the account to which the expense will be charged, either dynamically or manually, for example for the allocation of funds by project.

The Multi-Criteria Dynamic Card (MDC) feature, which is fully configurable via API, allows you to set dynamic rules for each card. You can set spending limits, transaction conditions or geographic restrictions to meet the specific needs of each customer.

In addition, you can customize cards by incorporating your own logo, colors and design. This offers your customers a unique payment experience, reinforces their professional visual identity and promotes customer loyalty.

Simplify payment management for your end users with Treezor’s bulk payment solution. Our API allows you to schedule multiple SEPA transfers all at once. This fully automated process ensures optimal reliability by verifying the validity of IBANs and files. Errors are detected without interrupting overall processing, ensuring continuous fluidity. In addition, for each payment, a webhook sends a real-time notification to your system, allowing you to instantly track the status of each transaction. This automation significantly reduces manual intervention, allowing your users to focus on higher value-added activities.

For greater control over cash flow, the scheduled transfer feature allows your customers to specify the exact date and time of execution for single or bulk SEPA transfers. It is the ideal tool for planning recurring payments (salaries, supplier payments), thereby optimizing their cash flow.

In addition to our transfer solutions, the B2B direct debit feature allows your customers to optimize their payment collection by automatically debiting funds from their business partners. This service integrates easily via our API, offering total control over cash inflows and ensuring reliable and secure transactions. This method is also used by public services, such as tax authorities, to debit funds directly from the payment account opened with Treezor.

Lastly, simplify transaction reconciliation and fund tracking with virtual IBANs. Our API allows you to instantly generate personalized virtual IBANs for each payment, supplier or customer, offering granular traceability. Fully configurable (validity period, maximum amount, number of transactions), they reduce workload and eliminate manual reconciliation.
