What is a funding account?

Nium Payments uses the concept of either pre-funded or credit funding accounts to load money onto a virtual card. Whilst pre-funded funding accounts allow you to use only your own funds, credit funding accounts enable you to use your credit allocation, depending on your business account's configuration.

The funds of any funding account can be replenished via a funding source, such as a bank account.

Note

The use of credit funds depend on the agreed terms and conditions. To get more information, contact your Nium support team.

What sources of funds can I use for cards?

Virtual cards created by Nium Payments can only be loaded with funds from a funding account (see What is a funding account?). To load any funds on a virtual card, you first need to deposit these funds to a funding account.
