Account Changes
If you are changing your bank for charges, deposits or both, you will have to inform both Blink and your acquiring bank to ensure monies are charged from or deposited to the correct place. In the following overview, we will take you through the requirements.
Steps
Blink
We (Blink) can update this immediately on our side once you notify the support team.
Please advise if you wish to change where Blink charge you from, as we can send you a fresh Direct Debit form; once completed, our accounts team can amend this.
Please advise if your bank change is for charges, deposits or both.
