Virtual Funding Account (VFA) Setup in Dash Portal
Virtual Funding Account Setup in PT Portal
Follow the instructions below AFTER creating a virtual funding account clientID in FIS’s system. See separate document - “Setting up a Virtual Funding Account in FIS” for step-by-step instructions to create a virtual funding account clientID. Once created, use the guide below to create/add/tie a virtual account account to a client in the PT portal.
Creating/Adding a new virtual account to a client program in the PT portal
Step 1 - First you will add the client as usual and then navigate to the Program Design page (add program). Enter in the Product Type, Selection and Package as normal. Under the New Virtual Funding Account section, you will enter the clientID created for this virtual account in FIS. Then select ‘Create Virtual Account’.
Step 2 - You will then enter in the “First Name” for the virtual account (whatever name you want to show in the portal) and then select Save and Add
Step 3 - The virtual account has been created and all account details are displayed on the pop-up window. Select Close.
Step 4 - Confirm that you see your virtual account under the Virtual Account Setup. The virtual account is now associated with this client program.
Step 5 - Continue with the program setup as usual.
Creating a Master Virtual Funding Account
NOTE: The client cannot be set up as a Group to add the Master Vault. Client needs to be set up as a Direct Client first, saved and the Master Vault added, once the Vault populates the Routing and Account Number, you can resave as a Group (if it is needed).
You can create a master funding source for the group/client once the client has already been set up in the portal. *note: the option to add a Master VFA does not show until after the client has been set up. You will need to go through each of the setup steps, and then you must go back to the Company Information section for this client and add a Master VFA. See below for those steps.
Step 1 - Now that your client has been set up, use the search bar on the left to search for your client and pull up their information. Select the Company Information tab to expand.
Step 2 - Select Edit.
Step 3 - Scroll down to Master Virtual Funding Account and enter in the following:
SubprogramID - 328914
PackageID - 16102
ClientID - the clientID you created in FIS (each virtual account needs its own clientID)
Select +Master Funding Source
Step 4 - Add a First Name (whatever you want to show in the portal). Then select Save and Add
Step 5 - The master virtual account has been created and all account details will be provided in the pop-up window. Select Close.
Step 6 - Scroll back to the top of the page and Save. You will see the Master Virtual Funding Account information saved in the Company Information section.
Adding an existing Master Virtual Funding Account to a client/program
Once you’ve set up a Master Virtual Funding Account, you can add this virtual account as a funding source for existing clients - most of these clients will be sub-clients to the Group or Parent client where the master virtual account lives. See below for adding a Master VFA to an individual client/client program.
Step 1 - Search for the client and then select the editing icon right by their name.
Step 2 - Expand the Company Information section and select Edit.
Step 3 - Scroll down to the Select Virtual Funding Client Level field and enter in (or using the dropdown) the name of the client that holds the Master virtual account you want to tie to this client. So in this case, the client “Test Corp Disbursements AVS” wants to load cards using the Master Virtual Account of “Test AVS GROUP”
Step 4 - Scroll to the top and Save.
Now that you have added the Master VFA to this client, you will need to go into the individual client programs and tie this Master VFA to each program. This allows for cards in this program to be loaded via this Master funding source.
Step 5 - Expand the Program Details section and then select Edit.
Step 6 - Select Next until reach the Account Setup page (section 2).
Step 7 - Scroll down to the Virtual Account Setup section and using the dropdown menu, you should now see the Master VFA and can select this as the funding source.
Step 8 - Continue selecting Next until you reach the end of the program setup section and select Finish. The Master VFA is now saved as the funding source for this client program.
