# Apply for a Virtual Account
1. Sign in to the Dashboard > Select **Global Account**
2. Navigate to **Global account** screen
3. Click **New Global Account** in the top right corner
4. Select the account type you wish to create and fill in the required information.
## Applying via API
If you are integrating programmatically rather than using the Dashboard, call the [Create Virtual Account](/docs/global-account/v1.6/api-reference/create-virtual-account) API.
The synchronous response always returns `SUCCESS` and is **acknowledgement only**. The application's final state is delivered asynchronously through the [Virtual Account Create / Update webhook](/docs/global-account/v1.6/webhooks/virtual-account-create-update):
* `virtual.account.create` — UQPAY has accepted the application for the requested currency.
* `virtual.account.update` with `status = Active` — the VA is now usable.
No webhook is sent on failure. Subscribe to the webhook before issuing any production Create VA calls.
