Payment Tracking… Without Multiple Bank Accounts

‍

What are Invoice Account Numbers?

Invoice Account Numbers let you generate multiple account numbers for a single account — each one acting as a virtual routing endpoint.

They’re designed for one thing: clean, programmatic tracking of inbound payments without operational sprawl.

Current Friction

The growth stage looks different for every business; however, nearly all of them share a version of the same problem: as incoming payment volume grows, so does the need to track who paid what, and why.

Historically, companies were forced to choose between:

• Spinning up new ledger accounts for each client, invoice, or business unit
• Or trying to untangle the mess of incoming payments manually

Neither approach scales. One adds operational drag. The other invites reconciliation risk.

What businesses needed was a way to map payments with precision — without multiplying accounts

Use Case

In a Bank and Fintech partnership, a single fintech may process hundreds or thousands of inbound payments each day. Each one needs to be tracked, reconciled, and linked to an invoice, client, or internal system.

To make this easier, many companies try to simulate routing granularity by:

• Opening multiple bank or ledger accounts per client or invoice
• Rebuilding reconciliation systems from scratch
• Manually mapping payment metadata

These workarounds add friction:

• Banks must manage more accounts, increasing compliance overhead
• Fintechs deal with rigid systems that don’t adapt as their business changes
• Everyone spends more time managing complexity and less time building

🏦 Why do Banks like Invoice Account Numbers

Instead of onboarding a fintech with 100 low-activity accounts, banks can support the same business logic through 1 account — and see more consistent, higher-quality usage. Driving more transaction volume through fewer accounts, means:

• Lower compliance burden by maintaining compliance and oversight through the same ledger account structure
• Higher average deposit volume per account
• Less overhead per customer
• Ability to control enablement at the customer level

🚀 Why do Fintechs Love Prime Banking (+ Invoice Account Numbers)

Managing hundreds of inbound payment streams doesn't have to mean managing hundreds of accounts. With Invoice Account Numbers, fintechs and enterprises gain structured routing and automated reconciliation, all while keeping operations lean.

• Track payments by customer, invoice, or campaign
• Simplify reconciliation logic using just one account
• Scale payment operations without architectural operational bloat
• Create and manage Invoice Account Numbers through the API and Console
