How to update my account using the Tyl Portal
It's really important that you tell us if your business details change - especially if they're any of the following:
- Business address or your business' website address
- Trading name
- Bank account details
- Your business contact details e.g. email address or telephone number or changes to contact name
If you change banks or change the account you use for Tyl payments, you should call us to make us aware. We can make sure that everything’s correct on our side, so that you get your settlements on time. We might need a few extra documents to make the changes, but we can talk about these when you ring us.
You are able to make some changes yourself using the Tyl Portal.
Currently available to the Portal Account Owner is:
- Change their own email address
- Change their own phone number
- Request to remove American Express from the account
Changing the Account Owners email address and phone number
Just visit 'My profile' in the top right hand corner menu and select 'Manage' next to your details. Here you can change your email address and phone number.
Requesting to remove American Express
Visit the Service Plan page, under 'Business' > 'Billing'. If you currently accept American Express, you will see it detailed here along with how to remove it.
This will stop you being able to accept American Express cards on all outlets linked to the business.
