Overview
NEW FUNCTIONALITY FOR U.S. MERCHANTS: 7/25/23!
At this time, Affirm has granted certain eligible merchants the ability to sign in to the Affirm Merchant Portal and update their business bank account information by themselves. This article outlines the steps on how to perform this action as well as covering any limitations around it.
Only admin users on an eligible business account will have access to this feature. If you are a non-admin user, please contact your store’s administrator directly to assist with updating your bank account details. Account updates are limited to 2 updates every 30 days. Once the bank account is updated, a 3-day disbursement hold is automatically enabled.
If you are an admin and can't see the option to update your bank account on the Merchant Portal, or in the phase of implementing Affirm and would like to update your banking information, reach out to Merchant Care using the steps aligned in this article.
