What are Alias Accounts?
An Alias Account connects a Holder (individual or company) to a specific Midaz ledger account. In Midaz Module, each alias account stores:- Account identification - Bank account number, branch code, and account type
- Holder reference - Link to the associated holder (Natural or Legal Person)
- Ledger account link - Connection to the underlying Midaz account
- Financial institution details - Bank name, ISPB code, and institution identifiers
- Custom metadata - Additional fields for integration and business-specific needs
Accessing the Alias Accounts page
To open the Alias Accounts page, select the Aliases option from the Accounts section of the left-side menu. The Alias Accounts page displays a table listing all Alias Accounts in your system, including:
- Account Number - The bank account number or identifier
- Holder - The associated holder name
- Account Type - Classification of the account (checking, savings, etc.)
- Status - Current state (Active, Inactive, etc.)
- Created Date - When the alias account was created
If you do not have any Alias Accounts, the list will appear empty with a prompt to create your first alias account.

Common use cases
Linking customer accounts
Linking customer accounts
When a customer opens an account:
- Create a Holder with customer information (Natural or Legal Person)
- Create an Alias Account linking the holder to a Midaz ledger account
- Add bank details (account number, branch, institution)
- The customer can now transact using their familiar bank account number
Multi-bank scenarios
Multi-bank scenarios
When customers have accounts at multiple institutions:
- Create multiple Alias Accounts for the same Holder
- Each alias account references a different Midaz ledger account
- Track different account numbers and bank relationships
- Maintain clear separation between institutional relationships
External system integration
External system integration
When integrating with external banking systems:
- Use Alias Accounts to map external account numbers to internal ledger accounts
- Store institution-specific identifiers (ISPB, participant codes)
- Maintain metadata for integration-specific fields
- Synchronize status changes between systems
Best practices
1
Create holders before alias accounts
Always create the Holder record first, then create Alias Accounts to link them to ledger accounts. This ensures proper data relationships.
2
Use consistent account numbering
Follow your institution’s account numbering standards when creating alias accounts to avoid confusion and integration issues.
3
Keep financial institution details accurate
Ensure ISPB codes and bank identifiers are correct for proper payment routing and regulatory compliance.
4
Document account relationships
Use metadata to store additional context about account relationships, especially in multi-bank or integration scenarios.
5
Manage status appropriately
Update alias account status to reflect changes in the account relationship (active, inactive, closed).
