We’ve recently released the new (and improved) Yoco Web App to replace the original Yoco Business Portal!
If you haven’t yet made the switch, and are still using the old Business Portal to manage your profile, get the original bank details article here.
You can add or edit your banking details from the Yoco Web App here.
Please Note: Your bank account must be South African and transactional (that means it can make and take payments). Typical transactional bank accounts include a current or cheque account, or a transactional savings account. If you’re unsure, it’s usually easy to check with your bank, or on your banking profile.
Update your Business Bank Account Details
Log in to the Yoco Web App, go to your Business Settings page and click on the Bank Details tile.
Select the Change button next to your current bank details. Depending on what type of business structure you’re signed up as, you may need to provide extra documentation so we can verify your bank account.
After updating your bank details and clicking on submit, you'll receive an SMS to the mobile number on your Yoco (Personal) profile to verify the updated bank details, and you'll need to confirm before the details will be updated.
💡 If you edit or change your bank details, you’ll also need to resubmit any relevant documents for verifying the new details. Your payouts will keep being paid into your current bank details until your new bank details are verified.
What kind of verification is required for updating my Business bank details?

For a self-employed person/ sole trader: You must own the bank account. No proof needed.
For a Private Company (Pty) Ltd: You must be one of the Directors, and the bank account must be in the name of the registered company. You’ll also need to supply your CIPC number and confirmation of shareholding, but no other banking proof is needed.

You’ll also need to supply a Board Resolution granting you permission, and a Bank Letter or Statement as proof. If the NPO is registered with the Dept of Social Development or the CIPC, you’ll also need to provide those registration details.
For Trusts: You must be one of the Trustees, and the bank account must be in the name of the Trust. You’ll also need to supply a coy of the Trust Deed and a stamped Letter of Authority from the Master of the High Court, as well as a Bank Letter or Statement as proof.
