Virtual Bank Accounts (VBAs) simplify payment collection via bank transfers (NEFT, RTGS, and IMPS). Each customer gets a unique virtual account for payments, allowing businesses to track transactions seamlessly and reconcile them automatically. Cashfree instantly notifies businesses of payments, transfers the funds, and settles them into their business accounts. Additionally, you can enable Third-Party Validation (TPV) on VBAs, ensuring that the customer adds funds only from the bank account you specify. The system automatically rejects payments from other accounts and refunds any debited amounts. This enhances security, ensures compliance, and benefits industries like stock brokerage, where strict fund source verification is required. AXIS, ICICI, and YES Bank support VBAs.
Install Cashfree Agent Skills to bring Cashfree product knowledge into your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Gemini CLI, and more) to answer integration questions and generate accurate code without leaving your editor.
