What is a ZBA Account?

A Zero Balance Account (ZBA) is a checking account that maintains a daily balance of zero by automatically transferring funds to or from a central master account. This setup is ideal for businesses that manage multiple sub-accounts and need full control over cash allocation without manual intervention.

How Do ZBA Account Services Work?

Each ZBA is tied to a master account. At the end of each business day, funds are automatically transferred between accounts to match the exact amount of that day’s transactions. This ensures that:

  • Each sub-account ends the day with a zero balance.

  • Cash is centralized for better liquidity.

  • Transfers are seamless and automated.
