What Are Sub-Wallets?

Sub-wallets are essentially “mini” accounts within Boya, designed to help you categorize and control specific funds. By creating separate sub-wallets, you can allocate funds for designated purposes, whether for business expenses, or dedicated projects. Unlike opening separate accounts, sub-wallets let you compartmentalize expenses without the hassle of managing multiple sub-accounts.

Benefits of Using Sub-Wallets:

Sub-wallets offer several advantages that make financial management simpler and more efficient:

  1. Better Budget Control: With sub-wallets, you can allocate funds for specific purposes making it much easier to track spending.

  2. Enhanced Transparency: By organizing funds across various sub-wallets, you gain a clearer picture of where your money is going and how it’s being utilized.

  3. Increased Security: Sub-wallets add an extra layer of control, limiting access to funds and reducing the risk of unauthorized or accidental spending.

How Do Sub-Wallets Work?

This is a feature flag and would need to be set up and activated by our engineers. However, managing the sub-wallets is straightforward. Once we have created the sub-wallets, you can allocate specific amounts to them, and use them exclusively for their intended purpose.

Best Practices for Managing Sub-Wallets:

To make the most of sub-wallets, we have found that it’s helpful to:

  1. Regularly Audit Each Sub-Wallet: Reviewing each sub-wallet helps you stay on top of spending and ensures funds are used as intended.

  2. Set Spending Roles: Adding roles to each sub-wallet prevents overspending and helps maintain approved spending.

  3. Leverage Reporting Features: You can use the statements for each sub-wallet to give you insights into how each sub-wallet is performing, helping you make data-driven decisions.

Conclusion:

Sub-wallets are a game-changer for anyone looking to bring more structure and clarity to their finances. Whether you're managing business expenses or organizing project funds, sub-wallets provide the flexibility and control needed.

If you’re considering using sub-wallets, I’d encourage you to explore the feature and see firsthand how it can simplify your financial management.
