Business clients. Companies use PaySquirl to collect, convert, hold and pay across corridors. Individuals do not open retail accounts on their own. Recipients are onboarded by the business that needs to pay them.

Question 3

What does a business account do?

Accepted Answer

It is the operating account for payroll, receivables, local payments in local currency and overseas cash flow — in one dashboard at the client dashboard.

Question 4

How do payout wallets work?

Accepted Answer

Wallets are a disbursement tool. The business client onboards recipients and funds the wallets. Recipients can hold the balance, send it to themselves or spend it on a card. This is not a consumer bank product.
