Why Are Companies Used?
Companies provide a way to separate and manage different entities within the same operational environment. This is particularly useful for:- Payment Service Providers (PSPs)
- Marketplaces
- Cross-border payment operations
- Businesses managing multiple legal entities
- Merchant and sub-merchant structures
The WEpayments company hierarchy
The structure follows a PSP → Merchant → Sub-Merchant/MID model:What you can do in the Companies menu
- View all companies linked to your main account
- Create and manage sub-merchants (MIDs)
- Configure settings per company (e.g., payment methods, settlement rules)
- Monitor balances and transactions at the sub-merchant level
💡 Sub-wallets (sub-portfolios) are often linked to specific sub-merchants. You can filter transactions by payee (split) in reports and statements.
