(1) Domestic VBA is an account structure where the VBA and Master account are in the same country.(2) Cross-Border VBA is an account structure where the VBA and Master account are in different countries.

Virtual Bank Account (VBA)

Domestic VBA structure - What happens to VBA when the VBA and Header Account are on IP/365?

Instant payments credits on the VBA will be swept on each calendar day to the header account.
Instant Payment debits from the VBA are not yet possible for Domestic VBA structures

Domestic VBA structure - What happens to VBA when the VBA and Header Account are not on IP/365?

Instant payment credits on the VBA will be swept on business days to the header account.
Instant Payment debits from the VBA are not yet possible for Domestic VBA structures

Cross Border VBA structure - What happens to VBA when the VBA and Header Account are on IP/365 but in different countries for example VBA in Germany and Header in NL?

Instant payment credits on the VBA will be swept on each calendar day to the header account.
Instant Payment debits from the VBA are not yet possible for Cross Border VBA structures

Cross Border VBA structure - What happens to VBA when the VBA is on IP/365 and the Header Account (country X) is not?

Instant Payment credits on the VBA will immediately be debited from the VBA but the credit booking on the header account will be executed on business days.
The debit from VBA and the credit on the header account may therefore have a different book dates.
Instant Payment debits from the VBA are not yet possible for Cross Border VBA structures

Cross Border VBA structure - What happens to VBA when the VBA is not on IP/365 and the Header Account (country X) is on IP/365?

Instant payments credits on the VBA will be swept on business days to the header account.
Instant Payment debits from the VBA are not yet possible for Cross Border VBA structures

In all cases

Daily zero value balances on the VBA remain guaranteed.
Value dates of the sweeps (debit and credit) remain respected, no deviations.
