If you keep the informal 'ton', stay consistent; mixing formal 'votre' with informal 'ton' sounds odd.

Cultural Tip
In French business communication, it is common to use the formal 'votre' when speaking to clients or strangers. 'Ton' is reserved for friends, family, or peers you know well. Also, French banks often send a notification email or SMS when a deposit is made, so confirming with 'L'argent est maintenant sur votre compte' is a polite way to reassure the client.
