We’ve recently released a new (and improved) Yoco Business Portal. If you haven’t yet made the switch, you can still find details on using the original Yoco Business Portal below...
To join the future with us, find out about the new Yoco Business Portal here.
You can easily add or edit your banking details at any time, via the Yoco App or the Yoco Business Portal 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.
Changing your bank details
It’s quick and easy to edit the information in your Bank Details section under ‘Business Settings’ any time. This includes your:
Account Number
Banking Institution
Account Type
Depending on what type of business structure you’re signed up as, you may need to provide extra documentation so we can verify your account.
After updating your bank details and clicking on submit, you will receive an SMS to the cell number on the Yoco profile to verify the updated bank details and you will need to confirm the change for the details to be updated.
If you edit or change your bank details, you’ll also need to resubmit any relevant documents for verifying the new details.
