How is it helpful for my business?
Before we answer this question, we would like to explain you about what happens to your money kept with a bank in your current account.Every bank has to follow certain guidelines in terms of managing their liquidity, i.e. making the money available to their account holder whenever required or matured. And since the money kept by you in your current account can be withdrawn by you at any point of time, the banks has to make sure that your money is invested or is given as a loan to highly liquid and safest instruments like Treasury Bills, Top rated Commercial Papers, etc.
These highly liquid investments are also made by these banks to meet various regulatory requirements of maintaining Liquidity and Cash Reserve Ratios.
Our treasury solutions shall follow the same guidelines of banking by making your investments directly in your ownership in the instruments like Treasury Bills, Top rated Commercial Papers through a Liquid Mutual Fund which is a debt instrument (not equity) and are considered to be the best alternative to a current account.
Since your money is invested in debt instruments through a liquid mutual fund, your money shall not get effected by the daily volatility of equity market (Stock Market) and provide you with an interest income of upto 6% per annum.
A virtual account is an additional account linked to your merchant account.
You can open multiple virtual accounts for your customers to let them pay in the particular account assigned for your customer. This shall help in automatic reconciliation of your Accounts receivable and you shall have a better control over your incoming funds.
Making collections and payments are very easy. When you register as a business user, you shall get a merchant account along with the Bharat QR code through our partner bank. You can instantly start collecting your money in this account.
The Bharat QR code can be used to accept payments from any of the UPI apps like PhonePe, Google Pay, PayTM, etc. And also you can accept payments through RTGS, NEFT and IMPS as well. You can send collection links to your customers.
Making payments is also very simple, you can use our connected banking service(available on Select Banks) to connect your existing bank account to make the payments or can use our payment service by depositing the money in the mytra money virtual account assigned to you.
You can also collect or make payment outside our platform through your regular banking channel and make the necessary accounting entries/link your bank account, however we recommend you to use our collection/payment system to make sure any of the regulatory compliances aren't missed, the accounting entries are properly recorded and your business is managed properly.
One of the perks of using our banking solutions is the automated accounting.
Your business account comes with an in-built ERP system. This ERP system is suitable for every business need, whether you are a freelancer or a large corporate.
Whenever you make any payment or receive money using our banking solutions, your accounting entry is automatically made by creating the entries in the necessary ledgers. For example, when you make a payment to your vendor, you will first add your vendor as a beneficiary this shall create a ledger in your ERP system as well, and whenever a payment is made to that vendor, an accouting entry is also made along with the payment.
This ways our banking solutions shall help in managing your business efficiently.
