How to change it
- Sign in and open Payments or Repayment settings.
- Choose Change repayment account and enter the new business bank details.
- We verify the account and set up the new mandate.
- You receive confirmation, and a security alert records that the change was made.
Make sure the new account has funds available for the next collection — see keeping funds available.
Why we protect this so carefully
The repayment account is a prime target for mandate fraud: if a criminal could redirect collections, they could cause real disruption. So we verify the new account and alert you whenever it changes. Critically, we will never email or text you asking you to change your repayment account through a link. You make the change yourself by signing in. Any message telling you to redirect a Credit Corp payment is fraud — report it.
Business accounts only
Because we lend to your company, repayments come from a business bank account in the company's name, not a personal one. If you are moving banks entirely, set up the new business account first, then update it here in good time before your next collection date to avoid a missed payment.
If you spot a change you didn't make
If an alert tells you the repayment account changed and it was not you, act immediately: sign in, change it back if you can, review your sessions and password, and report it — see reporting suspected fraud.
Frequently asked questions
Can Credit Corp change my repayment account by email request?
No. We never ask you to change your repayment account via a link in an email or text. You make the change yourself after signing in, and we alert you when it happens.
Can I repay from a personal account?
No. Because we lend to your company, repayments come from a business account in the company's name. Update to a new business account here if you switch banks.
How long before the change takes effect?
Once verified, the new mandate applies to upcoming collections. Change it well before your next collection date and ensure the new account is funded.
