# Sub-accounts

> Organize your treasury with separate accounts for different purposes

Sub-accounts let you organize assets within your Squad. Each sub-account has its own Solana address while sharing the same multisig security as your Squad. Use sub-accounts to separate funds by purpose, such as operations, marketing, grants, or investments.

<Info>
  Adding sub-accounts requires a Pro plan.
</Info>

## How sub-accounts work

Every Squad starts with one default sub-account. You can create additional sub-accounts to organize assets by category or team.

Each sub-account:

* Has its own unique Solana address for receiving deposits
* Inherits your Squad's threshold and member permissions
* Tracks its own balance and proposal history

## Create a sub-account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the treasury">
    Navigate to **Treasury** in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start creating">
    Select **Add account**. If prompted, sign in with your wallet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the sub-account">
    Under **Title**, enter a descriptive name of 3 to 50 characters (e.g., "Operations" or "Grants").
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit">
    Select **Submit**. The new sub-account is created right away and appears in your Treasury. No proposal is required.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Move assets between sub-accounts

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a transfer">
    Navigate to **Treasury**, select **Send**, then choose **Send between accounts**. This option appears once your Squad has at least two sub-accounts.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the sub-accounts">
    Choose the sub-account holding the assets you want to move and the destination sub-account, then select **Next**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the amount">
    Choose the token and enter the amount to transfer, then select **Next**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit for approval">
    Review the details and select **Initiate**. Internal transfers require the same approval threshold as external transfers.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Which address to use

Your default sub-account address is the one to share for deposits. In the Squads app, this is labeled **Squads Vault** on the Settings page. For more on addresses, see [Settings](/app-guide/settings/overview).

<Warning>
  Never send assets to the Multisig Account address. Only sub-account addresses can receive and hold tokens.
</Warning>

## Best practices

* **Name sub-accounts clearly.** Use descriptive names so members know where to find and send funds.
* **Keep SOL in each sub-account.** A sub-account pays costs that arise when a transaction executes, such as creating a recipient's token account. Proposal fees are paid by the member's wallet, or by the Squad when [Fee Relayer](/app-guide/members/fee-relayer) is enabled.

<Accordion title="FAQ">
  **Which address should I share for deposits?**

  Each sub-account has its own unique Solana address. Navigate to the sub-account and select the copy icon to get the correct address.

  **Can I delete a sub-account?**

  Sub-accounts cannot be deleted, but you can archive them. Transfer all assets out, then open the sub-account's menu in **Treasury** and select **Archive**. Archived sub-accounts move to **Archived accounts**, where you can select **Unarchive account** to restore them. The same menu has **Rename**.
