How the network moves

Follow one payment, collection to payout

The same £812,400, collected from a customer and paid out to the bank, three moves later.

01

Collected from a customer

A customer pays by Faster Payments, bank transfer or card. It lands in your virtual account, matched to the invoice, no chasing.

02

Held in your virtual account

It sits in an account number that is yours, reconciled and ready. Hold it as long as you need before you pay out.

03

Paid out to the bank

Send it to any UK bank on your schedule, with the approvals you set. Settlement you can predict.

About Us

The network behind thousands of UK businesses

Emaal was built for companies that were tired of running their money across three banks, a card terminal and a spreadsheet. We give every business one account that collects, holds and pays — all inside the UK, all reconciled as it moves.

From a single card collection to a full supplier payout run, the same account keeps up.

Safeguarded by design

Customer funds are held in safeguarded accounts with UK institutions, separate from our own balance sheet.

Built for finance teams

Reconciliation, approvals and audit trails are the product, not an afterthought bolted on later.

One account, every rail

Faster Payments, BACS, CHAPS and card collections settle into the same balance you pay out from.

In their words

Finance teams that stopped fighting their bank

“We used to chase payments across three banks and a card terminal. Now every collection lands in one account, matched to the invoice. Month-end went from a scramble to a Tuesday afternoon.”

Sarah Whitfield

Finance Director, Thames Freight

“Paying 40 suppliers across Barclays, HSBC and Monzo in one run, from one balance, used to take all morning.”
JC

James Carter

COO, Yorkshire Produce

“The approval limits mean I can delegate payouts without losing sleep over a wrong zero.”

Controller, Bristol Textiles
