Account services and card services fit into one finance workflow by separating money movement from spend control: the account receives, holds and sends funds, while card services authorise and track payments against those funds. In practice, they are not one product from one provider — the account is issued by a financial institution, and card or virtual-asset services may come from DogPay affiliates or other providers, each with their own terms.

Start With the Account as the Funding Layer

The account is the foundation. Businesses may apply online for a US-dollar business account and Hong Kong or Singapore multi-currency business account options. The relevant financial institution provides and independently approves each account, and its opening documents determine the account type, holder and terms. Until that approval happens, no card workflow can be assumed. After approval, available account features may include international collections, cross-border payments, currency management, transaction records, reconciliation and reporting. Actual currencies, payment rails and functions depend on the institution, account, product and jurisdiction.

Add Card Services as the Control Layer

Card services sit on top of the account and govern how money leaves it. They define who can spend, on what, and how that spend is recorded. DogPay is a digital finance and payment infrastructure platform, not the financial institution that provides the business account. Where card or virtual-asset services are involved, they are provided by DogPay affiliates to eligible customers, subject to provider terms, applicable law and geographical availability. That means the card layer may have different eligibility rules, limits and reporting than the account layer.

Connect the Two Through Payment Rails and Records

The workflow connects when funds move and records reconcile. USD transfers may use ACH, SWIFT or Fedwire only where the relevant account and service arrangement support them. USD and supported stablecoin conversion or settlement and crypto payment gateway services are provided by DogPay affiliates to eligible customers, subject to provider terms, applicable law and geographical availability. On the operations side, transaction records, reconciliation and reporting help finance teams match card activity back to account balances. Any specific integration, file format or real-time sync should be confirmed with the relevant financial institution or service provider.

Design Roles Before You Design Flows

A single workflow only works if responsibilities are clear. The financial institution owns account approval, account terms and the rails it supports. DogPay provides the technical platform layer. Affiliates provide eligible virtual-asset and stablecoin-related services. Your finance team owns internal controls, approval chains and reconciliation. No account approval, payment acceptance, fee, exchange rate, speed, coverage or business outcome is guaranteed, so build the workflow around confirmation steps rather than assumptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the account and the card the same product?

No. The account is provided and approved by a financial institution; card and virtual-asset services may be provided separately by DogPay affiliates or other providers under their own terms.

Can I assume a specific payment rail?

No. USD transfers may use ACH, SWIFT or Fedwire only where the relevant account and service arrangement support them. Confirm rail availability with the institution.

Who approves the account?

The relevant financial institution independently approves each account, and its opening documents determine account type, holder and terms.

Are stablecoin services part of the account?

USD and supported stablecoin conversion or settlement and crypto payment gateway services are provided by DogPay affiliates to eligible customers, subject to provider terms, applicable law and geographical availability.
