Swiss multinational healthcare company Roche has embraced the use of virtual accounts. These sub-accounts, which are linked to one physical current account, fit with the company’s strategy of centralizing visibility of cash, switching to ‘on behalf’ collections and disconnecting local subsidiaries from banks.
