Offline Virtual Account Creation

Availability Offline: Argentina | Chile | Brazil | Mexico

In countries where online virtual account provisioning is limited or when merchants prefer a manual approach, Localpayment offers Offline Virtual Account Creation. This process allows businesses to request and receive virtual accounts (VANs) without integrating the API.

Offline Account Creation Process

Here’s how the offline flow works:

1. Merchant Submits Request: A completed file is sent to Localpayment Support.

2. Validation: The Support Team reviews and validates the data.

3. Account Generation: Localpayment creates the virtual accounts manually.

4. Response to Merchant: The merchant receives the account details via email.

The response includes:

• Virtual Account Number (VAN) (e.g., CLABE or IBAN)

• Bank Name

• Bank Code

• Currency

• Instructions for Use

• Account Type
