1. Fully Customisable

Assign IBANs on multiple levels – business, customer, currency, product or even order/transaction based. For example, you can assign an IBAN to all transactions from a specific customer or separate IBANs for each order.

2. Secured in Trust Accounts

The over 10 million virtual IBANs are managed and maintained within insolvency-proof trust accounts with the added safety of Novalnet being a German payment institution approved by Bafin.

3. Easy Accounts Allocation

Novalnet’s IBAN account management system can directly connect to your accounting system (SAP, Navision, Datev, etc.) and deliver transaction reports in multiple formats like XML, iDoc, JSON, MT940, camt.053 camt.054, etc.

Why Virtual IBANs?

More flexible yet less expensive than standard bank accounts or traditional IBANs.

Each customer, product or transaction can be assigned a unique IBAN account which allows for efficient organization.

Every process of a virtual IBAN, like deposits, transfers, and settlements, can be automated, saving business owners substantial amounts of precious time.

Fund your accounts and transfers with multiple currencies.

Virtual IBAN accounts eliminate the need to set up multiple bank accounts in different regions and countries.

How to Implement Virtual IBANs

With Novalnet’s Virtual IBAN solution, you can automate incoming payments and reconciliation without manual effort. Each customer, partner, or project receives a unique IBAN, ensuring that every transfer can be instantly matched to the correct account or transaction. This eliminates reconciliation errors and saves valuable time for your finance team.

Step 1: Enable Virtual IBANs

  • Log in to the Novalnet Merchant Portal.
  • Go to Projects → Payment Methods and enable Virtual IBANs for your desired project.
  • Define your preferred IBAN allocation logic – e.g., one IBAN per customer, per project, or per payment flow.
  • Save your configuration to activate automatic IBAN generation for new transactions.

Step 2: Manage and Track Incoming Payments

  • Each generated Virtual IBAN is linked to your main merchant account but assigned individually for easier reconciliation.
  • Incoming payments are automatically matched to the correct transactions and displayed in your Merchant Portal Dashboard.
  • Export detailed transaction and reconciliation data using the Transaction or Payout Reports in your portal.
