In today's global economy, Canadian businesses frequently engage in transactions with US companies. One significant challenge they face is receiving USD payments efficiently and cost-effectively. Traditional USD accounts domiciled in Canada often incur high fees, especially when receiving wire transfers. Fortunately, Vault offers a solution that not only simplifies the process but also saves money: USD-domiciled accounts that allow Canadian companies to receive ACH payments for free.

Why Canadian Companies Need Vault's USD-Domiciled Accounts

Canadian businesses dealing with US clients often struggle with the costs and inefficiencies of traditional banking methods. USD accounts domiciled in Canada typically support only wire transfers, which can be expensive for both the sender and the receiver. Here’s how Vault can transform the way your business handles USD payments:

1. Receive ACH Payments for Free: One of the most significant advantages of using Vault's USD-domiciled accounts is the ability to receive ACH payments at no cost. ACH (Automated Clearing House) is a preferred method for US companies to send payments due to its reliability and low transaction fees. By leveraging Vault, Canadian companies can bypass the costly wire transfer fees and receive payments seamlessly.‍
2. USD Accounts Domiciled in the US: Vault provides USD accounts that are domiciled in the US, designed specifically to facilitate ACH transfers. This setup ensures that Canadian businesses can take full advantage of the ACH system, which is not available with USD accounts domiciled in Canada.
3. No Need to Incorporate in the US: A common misconception is that to have a USD-domiciled account in the US, a company must incorporate there. With Vault, this is not the case. Canadian companies can open a USD account without the need for US incorporation, making the process straightforward and hassle-free.

The Cost-Saving Benefits of Vault

Receiving payments via wire transfers can be prohibitively expensive. On average, a wire transfer can cost the sender and the receiver up to $50 combined, sometimes even more depending on the banks involved. In contrast, ACH payments are typically free or come with minimal charges, which Vault covers entirely for receiving payments. This significant difference can lead to substantial savings over time, especially for businesses that frequently receive payments from the US.

How Vault Simplifies Transactions

Vault’s platform is designed with user-friendliness in mind, making it easy for Canadian businesses to set up and manage their USD accounts. Here’s a quick overview of the process:

1. Setting Up an Account
   • Sign up for a Vault account
   • Provide the necessary business information and documentation
   • Complete the verification process
2. Receiving ACH Payments
   • Share your Vault USD account details with your US clients
   • Clients can then send ACH payments directly to your USD-domiciled account
   • Receive payments without incurring any fees

Conclusion

For Canadian businesses looking to optimize their USD payment processes, Vault's USD-domiciled accounts offer a compelling solution. By enabling free ACH payments and eliminating the need for US incorporation, Vault provides a cost-effective, efficient, and straightforward alternative to traditional banking methods.
