Virtual Accounts

A virtual_account represents a subset of the transactions in an Internal Account. Virtual Accounts allow you to attribute transactions to particular users. For example, you might have a single Internal Account that holds all customer funds and a Virtual Account for every customer.

Additionally, if your virtual accounts are being debited or credited by external parties, you can use Expected Payments to monitor for activity.
