The virtual account API allows users to create virtual accounts and get transaction notifications. These virtual accounts can be used to track transactions and accept customer payments.

The API is designed to easily integrate existing systems using standard HTTP requests and responses. The virtual account API provides a powerful and flexible solution for managing virtual accounts and streamlining payment processes for businesses of all sizes. The API takes in the necessary information such as the account label and identification details to create virtual accounts for the merchants. This allows the merchants to receive payments through bank transfer.
