Managed vs own accounts
Two ways to run it. Same rules.
Choose per platform. Managed is the default and the simplest path.
| Topic | Let MCV manage itDefault | Connect my account |
|---|---|---|
| Ad accounts | MCV's master accounts | Your own accounts |
| Who pays Google / Meta | MCV, from your prepaid balance | The platforms bill you directly |
| Billing | One balance, auto top-up (about 7 days of spend), in CAD, plus applicable taxes | Your existing billing; MCV's fee billed separately |
| Approvals | Every spend change needs a person | Every spend change needs a person |
| Change cap | ±20% per change | ±20% per change |
| Best for | Most businesses: hands-free | Teams with existing accounts |
Switching later: nothing is deleted. Every switch is logged.

If a card fails
Backup card, retries, then a pause at $0. You're notified at each step.
