What is virtual account management?

VAM creates virtual ledgers atop real accounts for real-time tracking, hierarchies, and payments—without changing core systems.

How does KeyBank's VAM platform with Qolo work?

It overlays APIs for instant sub-accounts, intraday visibility, and ERP integration, processing billions securely on legacy rails.

Will VAM replace traditional bank accounts?

No—it enhances them, mapping virtual structures to physical ones for better control and speed.
