What is an Agency Account?

Partners & Affiliates Updated on January 13, 2021

The Benchmark Agency account enables our agency clients to have multiple accounts linked to their client accounts.  Agency accounts are meant for businesses that do Email Marketing for their clients, especially those creating and sending email campaigns.

Agency accounts might seem similar to that of Sub Accounts. However, they are different, sub-accounts live within the Master Account and are not billed directly and Agency accounts live on its own and can be billed. The advantage of using the Agency account is letting your client manage their billing in a separate account, and having it linked to yours.
