Hi. How can we help?

Editing your account details with Lightspeed Payments

You can edit your bank account information and business details from the Financial Services tab of your Lightspeed account.

Updating your bank account details

This process changes the bank account where you receive payouts (deposits) from Lightspeed Payments. If you have multiple locations using Lightspeed Payments, you must change the bank account details for each site.

Changing your bank details will cause a temporary hold on your daily deposits while your request is reviewed. Payout delays may take up to five business days while this change is processed.

In order to change the bank account details, you must have access to the email address used to originally apply for Lightspeed Payments.

  1. Login to Restaurant Manager with your administrator account.
  2. Navigate to Financial Services > Settings.
  3. In the Bank account section, click Change.
